1. Presenter: Michael Tedeschi Baltimore County Public Schools Perry Hall Middle School 4300 Ebenezer Road Baltimore, Maryland 21236 Image: http://www.beijingholiday.com/assets/images/news/maglev.jpg

2. Science: The study of the natural world to gain understanding Big Idea: Magnetism & transfer of power

3. Technology: Systems or tools that are created by humans Big Idea: Maglev, magnets (electromagnets), electronic/electrical power, motor system, tools for construction

4. Engineering: Applying knowledge of the known world (science) in order to create a technology Big Idea: Design process & exploration of engineering careers

5. Provide students with an opportunity to explore the design process.

6. Mathematics: Measuring, analyzing, describing, predicting and communication using numbers. Big Idea: Data collection and analysis

7. Provide students with an opportunity to see a model maglev at work.

8. Kelvin Maglev Track (8 ft.) Price $145.00 Built Ramp (8 ft.) Est. $15.00 Vernier Photo Gates

9. Kelvin Power Supply Price $125.00

10. Resources Understanding Sharing

13. Attract and repel are not good enough!!!

14. Simple Complex

15. Understanding laws of motion

16. + + + + + +

17. Identify the how the 9 Core Technologies apply to the Maglev Germany Japan

18. 1.Materials Tech. 2.Mechanical Tech. 3.Electrical Tech. 4.Electronic Tech. 5.Structural Tech. 6.Fluid Tech. 7.Optical Tech. 8.Thermal Tech. 9.Bio Tech. Maryland 9 Core Technologies

19. Identify the various engineering fields. What jobs are needed to make the maglev? (focus on the engineering fields) How do you become an engineer?

20. You must create a working Maglev model to win the companies latest contract bid proposal. The contract is for a Magnetic Levitation vehicle to be used in the high- speed transportation of people. In order to win the bid contest you must design, construct, test and communicate your finding to the FRA

21. Constraints are important 1.Sled size 2.Cabin size 3.One Motor/ Propeller 4.Electricity comes from the guide way 5.Motor must be mounted securely 6. Information must be recorded and communicated effectively

22. Cabin Design

26. Cabin Construction 1 1 2 4 5 3 6

27. Motor Design

28. Motor Construction Test Your Connections

30. Google Docs
