Total questions: 10
Worksheet time: 8mins
What equipment did we use?
A nail
Some copper wire
A small cat named Neil
The sword of truth and suffering
A battery
Tell me something you have observed about magnets in your day to day life.
What variable did we use?
Wires
Paper clips
Batteries
Octopus
How many Sols we ate
What outcome did we measure?
How many paperclips the electromagnet could lift
How many nails we used
How much wire we coiled
Snakes...oh god so many snakes!
What reasonable hypothesis could we make?
I think that more snakes will make Neil run faster. SO MANY SNAKES!
I think that if we add more batteries the electromagnet will pick up more paper clips because there will be more electrons flowing.
I think that if we have more nails the magnet will be more magnetic because nails are made of iron.
Wait...are there snakes in my pockets? Why? Why so many snakes?!
I think that if we add more coils of wire the magnet will be stronger because....wait, that's not wire it's a snake....WHY WHY?!
How could we start out method?
First, I took an iron nail and some copper wire.
First, I wrapped the fire around the nail.
First, I attached the battery to the write.
First, I take something....its moving...Oh god no it's a snake, why so many snakes?!
What would be a reasonable conclusion for our experiment?
The electromagnet picked up zero paper clips because it's not a real magnet.
The electromagnet with fewer batteries picked up more paper clips because batteries are heavy.
The electromagnet with more batteries picked up more paper clips because more current/electrons were flowing through the write.
The wire with...wait...thats not a write...it's a snake, isn't it?
A magnet has two:
Friends
sides
poles
colors
Magnetic things are generally made of:
Something long and slippery...it's moving...oh no...
Wood
Copper
Iron or nickel
Electromagnets are different from normal magnets because:
You can turn them off
They buzz
They are prettier
They attract snake....so many snakes..NO SNAKE GET OUT OF MY NOISE YOU MAY NOT EAT MY BRAIN!!!
