[POST after we'vew done the PAPER CLIP activity in CLASS!]
What other ideas do you have about how to fairly test the strength of magnet(s)? Share your test design with the class. What could you add to our class' magnet strength test? [DUE: 02.19.08]
Be cool,

This is written by Sarah Ray. I have an other idea. I think that we could test on all of the different parts of the magnent. Like the side's force it has with paperclips. Then, test on the face of the magnent. This will prove the theory that says if a magnent has more force on the spot that has more surface area.
I really agree with sarah's and garret's idea to test the different sides to see which one holds more magnetism power overall. Also I think we could add maybe less variables.This was written by Kia Armstrong.
THIS BLOG WAS WRITTEN BY JAMES BATES I bet that if we dangle the paperclips on the sides,and add one and wait ten seconds before putting on the next so that we make sure that they are sticking and sturdy so that the clips don't fall because of one that we put on a whie ago.And I will say my guess is that when two magnets are put togeter, they will not be as strong as doubled because they will each have to loose at least one side to stick to the other magnet[s]. But that is just my theroy.Again this is written by JAMES BATES!!!

This is by Chelsea Guo. I like James's idea of dangling paperclips. We could test which side or part of the magnet is strongest. Then we could try other variables.
Our team's design looked like a kind of hook. I think that is a good test, but it was testing the strength of the paperclip, NOT the strength of the magnet.
