Magnet
Levitation Set
(Magnetic Levitating
Train)
Magnet Levitation
Science set contains the materials you need to perform many
different experiments related to magnet and magnetic field. These
materials can also be used in your presentations or as a part of
your display.

Initial levitating train you build
looks like this picture. You may want to build and paint a
decorative train to mount above your plain train block. |
Opportunities for
Science Fair Projects
Many of the questions asked in the Magnet Levitation Projects, can serve
as the "Problem to be solved" in a science project. In setting up your
project, you would first state the problem, then hypothesis,
(a guess as the answer to your problem), next you will write a
procedure to check the hypothesis, and finally after you do your
experiments, you draw a conclusion that answers the stated
problem based on what you actually observe in your research. In addition
you may be interested in proposing your own, specific research that will
expand on your conclusion.
Since magnets are visually enticing in themselves as they interact with
each other, it would be strongly suggested that your presentation
include the apparatus you used in your research.
