Project.
 ¿which is our proyect?
● MAGLEV TRAIN:
● Introduction; Does a train without wheels sound crazy? How could a train possibly
move along the tracks without wheels? Trains that hover just above the tracks are actually possible
due to magnetic levitation , or maglev for short. These trains use powerful magnets to stay in the air.
Magnets generate a magnetic field.

● Whether the magnets push or pull depends on the direction in which the magnetic poles are facing
(see the electricity , magnetism , & electromagnetism ).

Magnetic force.
 ¿Magnetic force?

In the case of a maglev train, this magnetic force is used to push against the train’s weight . Weight is the
force that pulls an object down toward the earth because of gravity . If the magnetic force is strong
enough, it can overcome the train's weight and push it up into the air! Figure 1 shows a diagram of the
forces acting on the maglev train that you will build in this project.
 ¿Magnetic force? Pt2.

● Figure 1. A cross-sectional diagram of the maglev train. The train has two magnets on the bottom of
it. These magnets push against two magnets that form the tracks. If the force from the magnets is
strong enough, the train will float in the air above the tracks.

 Objective:
1: improve the use of the scientific method in our day a day life.

2: explore the different fields of science.

3: how we can apply this experiment in life and make it concrete.

4: measure the distance between the magnets and the train depending in the increase
or decrease of weight.
