    This document provides directions for an experiment to determine if the strength of a magnet depends on its size. Students are instructed to select 3 magnetic objects of different sizes and record the number of paperclips each one can hold. They then compare results with neighbors and answer whether their data supports that magnet size affects its strength, based on which magnet held the most paperclips.

    Strength of Magnets
    Directions: Pick 3 magnetic objects. Add paperclips to a chain one at a time,
    keeping track of how many paper clips have been added. When the object can no
    longer hold the chain of paper clips, record the number of paper clips, describe the
    magnet used, and rate the size compared to the others (small, medium, large).
    Objective: Determine if the strength of a magnet depends on the size of the magnet.

    Object 1: _________________________________________________________________

    Size Compared to Other Objects: _________________________________

    Number of Paper Clips Held: ________________________________________

    Object 2: ________________________________________________________________

    Size Compared to Other Objects: _________________________________

    Number of Paper Clips Held: ________________________________________

    Object 3: ________________________________________________________________

    Size Compared to Other Objects: _________________________________

    Number of Paper Clips Held: ________________________________________

    Compare you results with your neighbors.
