In the magnet lab we tested the idea that the bigger the magnet, the stronger it is.
We learned that the bigger the magnet, the bigger the magnetic field it has.
Hypothesis: Our group thought that the bigger the magnet, the stronger it is because it has more surface area and therefore it has more magnetic force.
Procedure
Step 1Place a ruler on the table and a magnet on one end and a paperclip on the other.
Step 2 Slide the magnet slowly until the paperclip is pulled and attached to the magnet.
Step 3 Record the distance in millimeters in how far the paperclip traveled and record.
Step 4 Repeat steps 1-3 increasing the magnet size how ever many times you like.
Step 5 When you are finished with your tests, calculate the mean and range of each of your test results.
Conclusion/Results
Our results supports our hypothesis very strongly. This is because our data shows that the larger the magnet, the farther the paperclip traveled to get to the magnet. Our data is related to out scientific concept because it supports every idea presented in the concept.
Additional Discussion
We had no errors in our lab.
Our findings were the same as our peers except for the two groups that had a different kind of small magnet that made it stronger.
Our findings support the ideas in the scientific community.
We think nothing could be improved in the lab.
How can you be sure there were no errors? How did your findings support the ideas in the Scientific Community? Which ideas are those? All scientists can make improvements to their methods and designs. I know this group can put more critical thought and self evaluation into their work!
