We Have Levitation!

Several weeks ago, the fifth grade students were tasked with creating a prototype of a magnetic levitation system  that could successfully carry a load of washers.  The young transportation engineers designed and created their trains, tested their systems, took notes about what seemed to be working and what needed to be modified, and ultimately went back to the drawing board to improve their MagLev systems.  The MagLev systems went through numerous iterations, which caused some angst with our young engineers. However, after over a month of testing and redesign, the teams finally achieved success.
