Science Engineering Project

By: Jeffery Middlemas

Problem and Solution

• My problem is that if you drop something like screws, paperclips, etc., you need an easier way of picking up those objects with ease.

• The solution that I came up with was to make a long, skinny object that has multiple magnets on the end of it to pick up the objects if they fall on the floor or get behing something like a fridge, dresser, or some other heavy object.🎼

Why I Chose this Project

• I chose this project because I am always dropping things behind heavy things and having to move it around so I can get the things that I dropped.

What I Enjoyed Most about Doing My Project

• I enjoyed making the device and testing it because l liked seeing what my device would do and if it worked.

Explanation of Procedures

• Put the device just above the small objects

• If they don't pick up, lightly touch the device with the objects and, most likely, they will pick up

• When attached, bring the end of the device close to you and pick the objects off of the end

Problems Encountered

• A problem that I encountered was if the object that I dropped was a metal that wasn't attracted to magnets. Another problem was the glue not sticking, but I found a solution by adding hot glue.

Results

What I Learned From this Activity

• I learned how strong a magnet really is, how long businesses have to make up ideas, and how useful my device is.

Things that I would do Differently

• What I would do differently next time would be to have larger magnet strength to pick up the objects farther away.

Most Difficult Part of My Project

• The most difficult part of my project was getting the right sized supplies to fit the device well.
