Third graders learned about the latest in train technology. They became
Transportation Engineers and designed maglev trains. Once trains were
designed, the students tested them. One engineer's design was immediately
successful, but other engineers needed to figure out what to do to make their
trains successful. They persevered. They brainstormed and tried out new ideas.
Then SUCCESS! Great thinking and great technical work third graders!
Ask a third grader about maglev trains. What are they? How fast can they go?
Would maglevs be a good mode of transportation/travel? Why or why not?

Working on designs!
No wheels? Just magnets?
