Students build a magnetically levitated (hence the name MagLev) car to run a specified distance. Teams must accurately predict the time their car will take, and also take a test over magnetism …

Maglev (derived from magnetic levitation) is a system of rail transport whose rolling stock is levitated by electromagnets rather than rolled on wheels, eliminating rolling resistance. [1][2][3]

In order to design and build cars to help people safely survive auto accidents, the students are to design and build a device that will keep an egg from breaking after being dropped from a tall …

• Build a car that will move when a load is released from the pulley of the car (the pulley must be part of the car and move with the car). • The only force allowed on the vehicle must be the …

Maglev Train Problem - I will be designing and building a functioning magnetic train. I will also test if the more or less magnets put onto the train will make the train go faster.

Vehicle Safety Engineering (the egg drop) Engage Students are going to play the role of Vehicle Safety Engineers. In order to design and build cars to help people safely survive auto …

After completing a unit on magnetism, third grade students are ready to engage in a hands-on problem-solving engineering project to design and create a maglev car (PS2.B). In this lesson, …

EGG DROP Design a vehicle to transport an egg from a 5 meter drop (balcony to concrete) dropped from rest, that meets the following conditions: The egg must survive. A = egg doesn't …
