Today we finished step one. Our train was levitating. If you don’t know what levitating means let me explain. Levitating means to hover or float. The magnets we used to improve is the strip magnets because they were lighter than the ring magnets. The magnets were placed one long strip magnet on each side of the track and the car.
Today we failed on trying to transport marbles to the other side of the track without them falling off. We learned that we needed a sturdy force one that did not tip or shake. We changed the track a little to see if it worked. So instead of using one strip magnet on each side of the track to put to on the track.
Our goal for our next session is to get the marbles across the track. We think it might work if you make the force even stronger than it is.
