The experiment was meant to see how temperature through heat and cooling affected the durability and properties of metal. Before two of the paper clips were exposed under heat and cooled down in two separate ways, all three paper clips were bent at ninety degrees until they broke in half. The amount of times in which the two heated paper clips were to be bent were determined by half the amount of times in which the first unheated paper clip was bent before it broke in half. One of the controlled variables for this experiment was the amount of times in which the two heated paper clips were bent at ninety degrees half of the first unheated paper clip. Other controlled variables in this experiment include the intensity and temperature of the heat,
