Our problem for our project is that normal trains are using up too much energy and gas.To prevent that and find a way to make a better train we researched and we decided to show how a magev train is a better suited to take the place of regular trains.The tracks also cause too much friction which make more energy needed.We made a model and showed how it represent a maglev train adding magnets and not using any energy.Our solution impacted out project greatly and created a better understanding.

We used a piece of thick cardboard for the base and glued magnets down the middle. We added clear plastic walls on the sides to keep the train on the track while it was moving. We made a train out of cardboard and drew windows and stripes on the side. we glued magnets to the bottom so they would push away from the magnets on the track. We tested the train inside the plastic walls to make sure it floated evenly and didn't get stuck on the sides. Since the train didn't move on its own, we attached a rubber band to the end of the track.

A magnet is a material that produces a magnetic field that is invisible. This magnetic field pulls on material that includes iron,steel,nickle and cobalt.A magnet can attract or repels other magnets because of the magnetic field doing so.

Magnets use magnetic force to attract pulling certain metals like iron, nickel, cobalt, or opposite poles and repulsion pushing poles apart, all acting through invisible magnetic fields without physical contact.

Magnets have special features that make them work. Every magnet has two ends called the North and South poles, where the power is strongest. These poles always come in pairs, so if you break a magnet in half each new piece will still have both poles.This is where is both of the same poles try to connect they get met with a magnetic field

A Maglev train is a train that is train that floats above the tracks using strong powered magnets.This is due to the magnets having a magnetic field that is invisible to the human eye. Maglev trains also don't have engines because they are powered with electromagnets . A Maglev train is also used to archive high speeds and to eliminate friction.

For our project we have decided to create a model of how a Maglev train looks like.To start off we added magnets to make tracks and added magnets on the bottom of the train for it to be able to float.Then we added clear acrylics to have the train balance so it doesn't tip over leading it to get stuck on the tracks.To make it move we would pull a rubber band to make it move to make it move while floating above the tracks.

We made a Maglev train model because we needed to show how a Maglev train would float and move. In the video we showed how it would be moving and how how its above the tracks,and floating.

I tested my train three times using the rubber band launcher. For each test, I pulled the rubber band back to the same spot (5 centimetres) to make sure the push was always the same. During the tests, I noticed that the train floated about 2 millimeters above the magnetic track. The clear plastic walls were important because they kept the train from sliding off the magnets when the rubber band launched it

In this presentation we learned how a magnet works and the properties of a magnet.We also learned what objects a magnet would stick to, such as metal.Not only that but we learned about a maglev train floats and how it is used.We also made a model of how a maglev train would look like ,and we made it float.Lastly we learned what a maglev train is and why its used.

We would like to start by thanking Mrs Khalil for giving us feedback on our work and giving us great advice I am also very grateful to our parents, for buying us the materials we need and supporting us when we were building it
