The refrigerator door is made of steel (that contains iron).
Yes, it explains what happened.
No, it does not explain what happened.
Choose the answer that says if the explanation explains why the magnet was not able to hold the object to the refrigerator door or if the statement does not help explain what happened.
The magnet is too weak.
Yes, it explains what happened.
No, it does not explain what happened.
Choose the answer that says if the explanation explains why the magnet was not able to hold the object to the refrigerator door or if the statement does not help explain what happened.

Study the data table.
What question was this student testing?
How many washers can you pick up with a magnet?
What is the average number of washers picked up by a magnet?
How does the number of magnets affect the number of washers picked up?
How many trials are needed to pick up the most washers?
Study the data table.
What cause-and-effect relationship can be stated from the data in the table? Choose the best answer.
You can't say because something is wrong with the data; the student should have picked up the same number of washers for each trial.
The average number of washers picked up decreases as more magnets are used.
The average number of washers one magnet can pick up is 9.
The more magnets you use, the more washers you can pick up.
What is the difference between a temporary magnet and a permanent magnet?
Select all that apply: (Choose 2)
Temporary is influenced by a magnetic field for a short period of time, while permanent magnets remain magnetized.
Temporary is always magnetized while permanent is influenced by a magnetic field for a short period of time.
