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.
