Experiment 1: Magnet BehaviorIn this experiment, you will investigate the behavior of magnets using ceramic ring magnets.Materials4 Ceramic Ring MagnetsMasking TapePermanent MarkerProcedure1. Tear two small pieces of masking tape from the roll. 2. Place one piece of tape on one side of one of the magnets and use the permanent marker to label it “A1”. 3. Place the second piece of masking tape on the other side of the magnet and label it “A2”. 4. Repeat Steps 1 – 3 with a second magnet, except label one side “B1” and the other side “B2”. 5. Bring sides A1 and B1 together and record observations about the behavior of the magnets in Table 1. 6. Bring sides A1 and B2 together and record observations about the behavior of the magnets in Table 1. 7. Bring sides A2 and B2 together and record observations about the behavior of the magnets in Table 1. 8. Bring sides A2 and B1 together and record observations about the behavior of the magnets in Table 1. 9. Remove and discard the masking tape from Magnet B. 10. Stack all four of the magnets together with Magnet A on the end of the stack. 11. Find an object the stack will stick to (refrigerators and metal appliances work best). © 2014 eScience Labs, LLC.All Rights Reserved12. Remove Magnet A from the end of the stack and observe if side A1 attracts the metal surface when separated from the other three magnets. Record the result in Table 2. 13. Bring side A1 back to the stack. Observe the magnets behavior and record your results in Table 2. 14. Flip the magnet around and observe if side A2 is attracted to the metal surface. Record the result in Table 2. 15. Bring side A2 back to the stack. Observe the magnet’s behavior and record your resultsin Table 2.

The stack of magnets works as one, large bar magnet. When one magnet was removed from the stack did the magnetic poles change? Use your results to support your answer.2. Were both sides of the single magnet attracted to the metal surface? Use your results to support your answer.© 2014 eScience Labs, LLC.All Rights Reserved Table 1: Single Magnet Interaction BehaviorMagnet Sides ObservationsA1 to B1 Attraction A1 to B2 RepulsionA2 to B2 AttractionA2 to B1 Repulsion3. Explain why one side of the single magnet attracted the metal surface, but repelled the stack of magnets.4. What orientation of the magnets gives the strongest repulsion or attraction? Why do you think that is the case? What must be true of the magnetic field at those locations compared to other locations around the magnet?5. If you cut a bar magnet in half, are the two halves still magnets? Explain your reasoning.6. How does the magnet attract something that is originally non-magnetic?© 2014 eScience Labs, LLC.All Rights
