MAGNETIC FIELD EXPERIMENT |
DIRECTIONS: Complete the following experiment and fill in the scientific method.
Problem: How can we show a magnetic field? Hypothesis: I think if ________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ then ___________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________. Materials: white paper, magnets of different sizes and shapes, iron filings Procedure: 1. Place each magnet, one at a time, under the sheet of white paper. 2. Sprinkle iron filings over the surface of the white paper, near the magnet. 3. Tap the paper slightly, and observe where the iron filings line up. 4. This is the magnet's magnetic field. 5. Draw a picture of the magnetic field. Observations:
Conclusion: I learned __________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________. |
