Some of these material are: Clear adhesive tape String/tread 1 book 1 Nickel (US five cent piece) 1 US dollar bill 5 US pennies 6 Small paper clips Several Magazines 1 piece of paper (8.5 x 11) lightweight tape 2 US quarters sheet of sandpaper
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.
