Title(Beau) How does the size of the magnet affect its strength?
Introduction/Purpose (Beau) This lab was about magnetism. I learned that the bigger the magnet the stronger it is. This lab was important to discover if the size of a magnet makes it stronger or weaker. Our Hypothesis stated that the bigger the magnet the stronger it would be because more electrons could line up on the outside of the magnet.
Methods (Beau) Materials: 3 magnet one small, one medium, and one large;a paper clip; a ruler; a flat surface.
Step 1 : Take the ruler and tape in down to your flat surface.
Step 2 : Set a paper clip at one end of the ruler.
Step 3 : Take the small magnet and set it at the other end.
Step 4 : Slowly begin to move the paper clip toward the paper clip by cm.
Step 5 : When the paper clip moves stop moving the magnet and record how far the magnet was away from the paper clip when paper clip moved.
Step 6 : Repeat step 5 two more times.
Step 7 : Repeat steps 1-6 with the medium and then large magnets. Results (Maile and Courtney)As you can see..... In our experiment that the bigger the magnet the more power it has. We know this because it moved the paperclip from a farther distance.
Interpretation (Beau)Our hypothesis was supported by our data that showed that the bigger the magnet the farther away it could move a paper clip. This means that the bigger the paper clip the stronger the magnet
Additional Discussion (all)(Beau)Why are neodymium magnets stronger than ceramic magnets? Are neodymium magnets naturally made? Are ceramic magnets naturally made? Can we learn more about magnetism and atomic structure? (if editing after beau put name here)
Even if you do the data table & graph-everyone needs to add to Additional Discussion each time!
