Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 3.6 Strength of Magnetic Forces and Distance skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A student investigates three magnet types at 2 cm and 5 cm. The results are: bar magnet - 7 clips at 2 cm and 3 clips at 5 cm; ring magnet - 5 clips at 2 cm and 1 clip at 5 cm; horseshoe magnet - 9 clips at 2 cm and 4 clips at 5 cm. Which final conclusion is best supported?
AIn this investigation, the horseshoe magnet was strongest at both distances, and every magnet showed weaker force at 5 cm than at 2 cm
BThe ring magnet will always be weakest in every situation
CDistance matters only for horseshoe magnets
DAll three magnets were equal because they all worked
Solution & Explanation:The conclusion stays close to the data: it names the strongest magnet in this test and notes that all results dropped at the farther distance.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Use the chart image to answer the question. Which claim is best supported by the data?
AAt the same distance, the bar magnet was stronger than the ring magnet, and both magnets were weaker at 5 cm than at 1 cm
BThe ring magnet was stronger than the bar magnet at every distance
CDistance changed the bar magnet but not the ring magnet
DThe results prove what every magnet in the world will always do
Solution & Explanation:The chart shows the bar magnet higher at each matching distance, and both magnets have lower values farther away.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
Two students each test a bar magnet at 1 cm, 3 cm, and 5 cm. Student A repeats each distance two times and gets similar results. Student B tests each distance one time only. Whose data give stronger support for a claim?
AStudent A's data
BStudent B's data
CBoth give the same support
DNeither can be used
Solution & Explanation:Repeated tests give more evidence and help show that the pattern is reliable.
