Question: (What do you want to find out?)
Are all metal objects magnetic (able to be attracted by a magnet)?
I think…
Procedure:
1. Test each object by holding one end of a magnet close to the object. If the object is pulled to the magnet, then it is magnetic. If the object is not affected by the magnet, then it is not magnetic.
Results: (What happened during the experiment?)
Object Magnetic Not Magnetic
steel spoon
aluminum foil
iron safety pin
copper penny
iron nail
silver dollar
steel soup can lid
iron paper fastener
brass screw
iron bobby pin
gold jewelry
Conclusion: (What did you learn from this experiment?)
All metal objects _______ magnetic. are/are not
Magnets can attract _______________________

Question:
Can a magnet attract through other objects?
Object Magnet CAN attract through
it
Magnet CANNOT attract through
it
Plastic lid
Steel spoon
Wool cloth
Steel soup can lid
Cardboard
Paper plate
Plastic bag
Aluminum foil
Rubber balloon
Wooden popsicle stick
Silver dollar
Water
Glass
Procedure:
2. Attach a magnet to the board so that the paper
clip will attract to the magnet but not touch it.
(There will be space between the magnet and the
paper clip.)
3. Place each object to be tested between the magnet and the paper clip. If the paper clip is not affected, the magnet can attract through the object. If the paper clip falls, the magnet cannot attract through the object.
1. Attach a paper clip to one end of a piece of fishing line. Tape the other end of the fishing line to the chalk/marker tray.
