Magnetic Force
Question: Will it take longer for a magnet to travel through a copper pipe or a plastic pipe?
Hypothesis: We think it will travel faster In a copper pipe because there reacting by making electricity which might keep the magnet from fall as fast.
Materials:
* 2 foot copper pipe
* 2 foot plastic pipe
* magnet
* timer
* 2 foot plastic pipe
* magnet
* timer
Procedure:1. Get all materials 2. Drop magnet down copper pipe two or three times 3. Time it 4. Do same steps as we did with copper to the plastic pipe 5. Compare time Special Needs: Add any requirements for your station for Science night - electricity, water, fire extinguisher, etc. |

The Science behind it
It takes longer for the magnet to fall through the copper pipe because the magnet and the copper pipe are reacting by making electricity and keeping the magnet up . At the end you can see the electricity. It drops faster in the plastic pipe because the magnet isn't reacting to the plastic pipe.
Conclusions
In conclusions it takes long because the magnet and the copper pipe make electricity which keeps the magnet from dropping as fast.
