Unit 2 ACTIVITY # 3
Group name/number:
MODULE 1 Induced Magnetism
___________________

(Testing for Evidence of Magnetism)

Score:______________
Objectives:
1.) Induce magnetism in a magnetic material.
2.) Infer the polarity of the magnetized object.
Materials:
• bar magnet
• four 1-inch iron nails, screws, or paper clips
• science notebook and pen
Safety Precautions:
Handle the magnet with care so as not to drop it. It could break, chip off and weaken upon impact.

Procedure:
1. Use the bar magnet and paper clips to find answers to the questions below. Record your answers on your science
notebook. Use diagrams to support your answers.

Guide Questions:
Q12. What happens if you bring two nails/paper clips close to (or touching) each other? Illustrate.

Q13. If you bring a bar magnet close to (or touching) the first iron nail, can the first iron nail/paper clips attract and lift a
second nail? A third one? Illustrate.

Q14. What happens if vary/change the distance between the magnet and the nail/s/paper clips? Illustrate

Q15. If the north pole of the bar magnet suspends the first nail by attraction, what is then the nails’/paper clips’ polarity
of induced magnetism in the indicated regions? Why? Illustrate.
2. Choose the correct term from the enclosed choices that should go into the blank spaces on the “Sum it Up Challenge!”
