Lab/ Station Paper Last week, we had to do labs. I rotated with Scarlett, Callie and Mark. I dont remember all of the station names but I know there were 6 stations. The third one was called “ How many are magnetic?”. The sixth one was called “ The Maze”. The middle table was just a resting table. I thought i remembered the 4th station but Mr. Leavitt wont tell me. Staation 1 was to see how many paperclips would attract to the magnets. I dont know the teams hypothesis, but i wrote it down. We needed donut magnets, paperclips, paper, and a pencil. We put the magnets in groups, skip counting by 5. We then dippped the magnets in the box of paperclips, counted how many we got. Recorded it on pour paper. The more magnets we had the more paperclips.

I know for a fact it involved a box of paperclips, big magnet. I believe the purpose was to see how many paperclips you would get with the magnet. My hypothesis would be ¾ of the box. I didnt get any result because we didnt get to get to the station. I would change the fact thay ypu have one magnet make it 2 magnets. They also had a triple balance beam. You had to measure the mass of the magnets. Station 3 “How many are magnetic?”. The purpose was to see how many of the 42 misc. Items are magnetics. Our hypothesis was 35 out of 42. The station required 42 random items, magnet, paper, and pencil. You had to use the magnet to see which ones are magnetic and which arent. Record data. The results were 21 out of 42. I think we got the results we got because some look magnetic but all werent, and we just took an estimate. If would change something i would do less magnetic items, but more items Station 4’s purpose was to see which magnet would take the donut magents across the string. We hypothesized the bar magnet would work better. For this station you needed a horseshoe magnet, bar magnet, donut magnet, string with donuts on it. First, use the donut magnet to see how far does it take it across. Then repeat step 1 for the following 2 magnets. Record data. Our results were wrong it turned out to be the donut magnet that worked the best. If i was going to change how many magnets were used i would add more
