This week we learned about maglev trains. We also learned about the engineering design process. We tried to make a model of maglev trains that will hover above magnets inside a box.The magnets that we will use are strip magnets, ring magnets disc magnets and bar magnets. We worked in groups to make are train.First we went threw the engineering design process.Are first decision was two put strip magnets threw the middle and ring magnets on the sides. For the train we put strip magnets and disc magnets on the side of that. It took a long time to come to a agreement.We tested it out and we failed.We were going to try another persons idea but then we had another idea. It was to put only strip magnets no other magnets. Yet we failed again but we kept on trying. We used the bar magnets to tell witch side is north and south.It took a long time to tape all the magnets together. We also had to use limited magnets.We learned before hand that magnetism goes threw tape. It also goes threw manilla folder. We used the manilla as a track. The magnets would rest on top of the manilla folder. The box would help it from flipping over but not to much than it would fall.I also liked playing with the magnets to see how each one works.Some of them had different north and south.We were so close.
