Maglev Post#2

For our Maglev train we put two strip magnets on the top and bottom. And for our track we put two strip magnets on top and bottom. We did not get anything right. We did not get our train to levitate. But after a few more tries we got it to work. I learned that when you don’t get something right the first time try again and maybe you will get it right. We took away the disk magnets from the bottom of the train and took away the strip magnet from the middle. My goal for the next design is to not argue as much  as we did. And to get little beads / Weights to tay on the track ad still have the train to “Levitate.”

 

Maglev Train

A maglev train is a train that uses magnets to levitate. There is a certain process we had to follow. It is called the “EDP” or Engineering Design Process. There are stages you have to go through. They are: Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, Improve. For the train my groups idea was to put one bar magnet in the center and three disc magnets on each side of the bar magnet. For the track we  put three strip magnets next to each other.

In order to get something done we had to do something good. What I think we did great was we worked together. We had two people working together to make a train and two people making the track. Our train sadly failed. It did not levitate and so it did not it did not travel down the track. But I believe we can fix it. I think we put too many different magnets and there was a big height difference.

I had an amazing group. We all agreed and got along. We had a tiny disagreement. But we did great! Next time we will try not to argue and make sure we listen to each other.

My Expert Book – 3L

In class we have been working on expert books. My topic is about music. I chose this topic because music is my life. I had to put a lot of effort into my book.  What I had to do to create my book was put in pictures , research and write a lot. I enjoyed how it looked at the end, and I had a lot of fun doing it. If you ask me it was challenging. The part that was challenging was inserting pictures and writing. I hope you enjoy my book. ENJOY!
