My group did fantastic! We did lots of experiments, and tries and we were doing very well. We used mostly strip magnets and 2 donut magnets, with tape. We used the strip magnets on the track like a track, and we put the donut magnets on the wall of the box.
On the train car we put only strip magnets on the bottom of it, lined up together with the magnets on the track. The strip magnet made the train car levitate, because the strip magnet was facing north and the train car was facing north, so they were both repeling each other.
We actually did not really fail, but some stuff was very tricky. One of the things I thought was tricky, was when our group’s train car was not levitating and we did not know why. We made lots of changes and we succeeded. It was so fun and I did learn really cool things. And when we tried the tricky stuff, we would think of ideas to do instead.
I’m hoping to make better changes for my next design, and work better and do better. And if my group and I do better, we can have more fun, and learn more!
