Bronah, Connor and I decided the we would make an electromagnet using a nail and copper wire. We wound the copper wire around the nail. We then connected it up to the power pack which magnetized the nail. It then could pick up things like paper clips.
The positive was that we then learned how to make an electromagnet. The negative was that we had to change our original idea which went we had less time to complete our project. The most interesting thing was that it was still able pick up the paper clips without being connected to the power pack due to the nail still containing electrical charge.
