Step 2: Explore
Tie a paperclip to a piece of string, then suspend it above one of the wand magnets.
What do you observe as you move the paperclip back and forth above the magnet from one
end to the other?
Data collection in my science notebook.

Make a drawing in your science notebook to show where you found any variations in the
strength of the interaction.

Exploration using different shaped magnets - Skatech
Use the iron filings for each of the different shaped magnets you placed tape on in the
previous activity
my husband hshow me how can we
to extract iron filings.

Use the iron filings for each of the different shaped magnets you placed tape on in the
previous activity.
1. Do the filings cluster in the same locations that you placed the tape?
No the results were different to what I thought with the round magnet,. because I put that it
would accumulate around and it was not, all the filing in the center of the magnet.
In th other case the predictions was support to the evidence.

Step 3: Explain
The strongest parts of a magnet are referred to as “poles”.
•Are the poles of a magnet always located at the “ends”? Explain.
•Do any of the magnets you observe have just one pole?
•Do any of the magnets you examined have more than two poles?

Step 4: Elaborate
1.Create a magnetic compass

Create a magnetic compass
Try placing a magnet near your compass and
Look what happens. How close
magnet has to be any cause?
Try this again with a nail or other steel
object.

8. Veira Rodríguez September 3rd, 2017
How are compasses able to find magnetic north/south using the Earth's magnetic field?
Step 5: Evaluate
Imagine a magnet is discovered that appears to have three poles. What would you expect
the iron filings pattern to look like in this case? Make a sketch below.
