Objectives:

1. To evaluate a student's ability to generalize the results of an investigation.
   
   
2. To evaluate a student's ability to make predictions based on previous results.

Questions:

1. Place a check in the column to show what you discovered about each item's magnetic attaction.
   
   

   ITEM	ATTRACT
   	YES	NO
   washer
   penny
   popsicle stick
   nail
   rubber band

   
   
   
2. Look at your chart. Write a sentance about what you now know about magnets and what they attract.

3. If you had a metal screw, do you predict it would be attracted to the magnet?
   
   
   

   Circle one:

   YES

   NO

   
   
   Student generalization should describe what materials they observe a magnet to attract. Predictions should be supported by their chart and generalization.
