2. Problem and Solution
• My problem is that if you drop something
like screws, paperclips, etc., you need an
easier way of picking up those objects with
ease.
• The solution that I came up with was to
make a long, skinny object that has
multiple magnets on the end of it to pick
up the objects if they fall on the floor or get
behing something like a fridge, dresser, or
some other heavy object.�
3. Why I Chose this
Project
• I chose this
project because
I am always
dropping things
behind heavy
things and
having to move
it around so I
can get the
things that I
dropped.
4. What I Enjoyed Most about
Doing My Project
• I enjoyed making the device and testing it
because l liked seeing what my device
would do and if it worked.
5. Explanation of Procedures
• Put the device just above the small objects
• If they don't pick up, lightly touch the
device with the objects and, most likely,
they will pick up
• When attached, bring the end of the
device close to you and pick the objects
off of the end
6. Problems Encountered
• A problem that I encountered was if the
object that I dropped was a metal that
wasn't attracted to magnets. Another
problem was the glue not sticking, but I
found a solution by adding hot glue.
8. What I Learned From this
Activity
• I learned how strong a magnet really is,
how long businesses have to make up
ideas, and how useful my device is.
9. Things that I would do
Differently
• What I would do differently next time
would be to have larger magnet strength
to pick up the objects farther away.
10. Most Difficult Part of My Project
• The most difficult part of my project was
getting the right sized supplies to fit the
device well.
