Students explore how Maglev trains work. In this technology lesson, students discuss the pros and cons of Maglev compared to conventional trains. They build a simple Maglev train model.

Students conduct a series of experiments on magnetic levitation. In this physics lesson, students discover how Maglev trains operate. They explain how magnetism make even simple objects levitate.

Students use the Internet to discover the physics behind Maglev technology. They examine properties of magnets at Canada's Science and Technology museum. They participate in tutorials in which they can observe how different objects work.

Students are able to analyze practices that affect the use, availabiltiy, and management of natural resources. They are able to show that the forces of friction retards motion. Students investigate electricity and magnetism as...

Students explore the different types of magnets and their common uses.  In this magnets instructional activity students create their own magnets. 

This is a hands-on, inquiry-based lesson that includes three magnetic stations in which learners or small groups rotate in order to test and discover different magnetic properties and then use their knowledge to build a Maglev Train...

Learn about magnets, magnetic forces, and how magnets make things move.
