Research and Design Teaching Set

The Research and Design Teaching Set (150-00) allows learners develop an understanding of how STEM impacts our world, through the context of a modern mass transit system based upon a maglev train simulation. This teaching set includes access to a Buffer Design Consumable Pack.

Typical practical activities include:

• Identify transportation issues as problems that a Research and Design project might attempt to solve
• Extract information to create a formal list of specifications for a Design Brief
• Investigate and Research Transportation technologies
• Use the Internet to research information about the fuels used in Propulsion Systems
• Use a virtual laboratory to test materials for use in making electrical contacts
• Measure the force created by a model vehicle crashing
• Design a buffer to be used with a model Maglev vehicle
• Discover how computers are used to control automatic
• Reduce the fares paid by passengers using a Maglev transportation system
