• independent variable

• dependent variable

• control variable

• data group

What is used to protect your eyes from chemicals, broken glass, and fire?

• Fire blanket

• Eye wash

• Goggles

• Flask

Describe the trend in results.

What is the best answer?

• The graph is linear.

• As the number of coils is increased, the number of paperclips picked up also increases. It is a linear relationship.

• As the number of coils is increased, the number of paperclips picked up also increases. This is because adding more coils to the electromagnet makes it stronger.

• Positive correlation

Explain the trend in results.

• As the number of coils is increased, the number of paperclips picked up also increases. This is because adding more coils to the electromagnet makes it stronger.

• A stronger electromagnet will pick up more paperclips.
