Does A Magnet Affect By Warm Or Cold Temperature
Data Analysis Is a magnet affect by warm or cold temperatures? This experiment showed that if a magnet is cold, then it will have more magnetic pull than a warm magnet. The independent variable is the temperature of magnets. The dependent variable is the magnetic pull of magnets. The experimental group is magnets exposed to different temperatures. The control group is the room temperature magnet. The control variables are the amount of time the magnets are exposed to different temperatures, the type of magnet, and the method of measurement. The procedures for this experiment were: using a rope, lower a magnet into a bowl of BBs and write down the weight of BBs that were attracted and held to the magnet. Then put the magnet into the freezer and repeat the steps, and then put it into the oven and repeat the steps. The

The relationship between the independent variable and dependent variable is that when the temperature was much warmer, the magnetic pull supported fewer BBs than when it was colder. The oven magnet held an average of 22% less BBs than the freezer magnet and 25% less than the room temperature magnet. Since the same magnet was used for all the trials, the data suggests that maybe once you get to a certain cooler temperature, the effect of the temperature on the magnetic pull isn’t as great as it is when you are working with warmer temperatures. The data showed that temperature does have an effect on magnetic pull, but it also showed that the effect might only happen in a certain range of temperatures. More trials at colder and hotter temperatures than what was tested for in this experiment would be needed to see if the effect of temperature on magnetic pull only occurs in a certain range of temperatures or if the closeness of the room temperature and freezer averages was just due to something
