How To Make a Paperclip Chain Science Experiment
youtu.be/9AU7gkt5XW0
=======================================
Experiment Details
Items Needed
===========
3-5 Paperclips (even more if you want to see how long of a chain you can make)
Magnet (Ceramic Round Disc Magnets or Ceramic Bar Magnets work best)
Instructions
===========
Begin by trying to get the paperclips to stick together to form a chain. Do this put holding one paperclip and then putting another next to it. You'll notice that when you let go the paperclip falls to the table. There is no way to get the paperclips to stick together...unless we add another item.
Next, take a magnet and place one paperclip on it. Helpful Tip: The stronger the magnet, the more paperclips you will be able to stick together. We used Ceramic Round Disc Magnets and put 5 together to form our magnet. Another option is to use a Ceramic Bar Magnet.
Next, slowly add a second paperclip to the bottom of the first one. Take your time on this one because the magnetic force will want to pull the second paperclip up to the magnet, but if you are patient, you can get it to balance at the end of the first paperclip.
Once you have two paperclips stick together, try to add another and then another, until you've formed a long paperclip chain.
Add a fun twist and remove the paperclip chain from the magnet. To do this, pinch and hold the first paperclip, then slowly pull the magnet away. Then watch in amazement as the paperclip chain stays together.
