Criteria and Limitations:
In this section, please list at least three criteria that must be met by your train design. Also include any limitations that could prevent it from getting its cargo to the station.

Analyze Data and Refine Design:
This section will include an analysis of your test results and plans for redesigning your train. Please write in complete sentences.

Were any of your train designs able to get their cargo to the train station without crashing?
If yes, describe the design of the successful train.
If no, describe the design of the train that got closest to the station.

Which of your criteria presented the most challenge to getting the train to its goal, and why?

Which limitation was the biggest roadblock to getting the train to the station?

Why was it important to have endothermic and exothermic processes in the building materials of your train?
Which engines released thermal energy in an exothermic reaction?
Which engines absorbed thermal energy in an endothermic reaction?

If you could add any building item options to your virtual train to improve its design, what would those items be, and why would you need to add them?
