Today what my group did today that worked was when we took the disk magnets off the train because it was too much and we lined up the strip magnets to the tracks. The strip magnets so it would levitate higher and glide more smoothly.

What we did that failed was when we put one more strip of magnets on each side of the train to make two strip magnets on each side   What we learned from our failure that if you don’t line them up it wouldn’t float right so we learned from our mistakes. We took off all our disk magnets and we lined up the train and the tracks to line them up perfectly. And took off all the tape because it wasn’t working.

 

Our goal is to make the train levitate higher.

A maglev train is a train that doesn’t use the tracks to move instead it levitates.How because it repels off of magnets. My groups Idea for the train and tracks was  to make sure that it levitated and glided with a little touch.

What my group did that worked today was that we got it to levitate and whta we failed today was that the maglev train didn’t glide with a little touch and it only weny half way the first time but on the second try it almost went half way.

My experience with my group was amazing what we thought a little challenging was trying to make it levitate an what worked really well was when we made our track it was awesome.
