- As I move the magnet farther away, the compass might not point as strongly.
- I wonder if the magnet pulls on the compass more when it is close.
- It would be cool to see if a stronger magnet makes a bigger difference.
- Maybe distance matters a lot or a little when using a magnet.
- I want to find out how far I can go before the compass doesn't move.
In this lab, you will investigate the following question:
What is the relationship between distance and the strength of the magnetic force using a magnet and a compass? Write any thoughts you have about the question below. (3-5 bullet points) (1 point)

Record 2-3 general observations below (1 point).
Note down any patterns or relationships you observe between the magnetic force and the pattern that the compass points make around the bar magnet.

When I moved the compass around the bar magnet, I noticed that the needle always pointed toward the magnet, and it moved more when I was closer.
