Question
Directions: The picture below shows paper clips, W, X, Y, and Z, placed at different distances away from a magnet. Use the picture to answer any questions that follow.
A student predicts that paper clips Y and Z will move the greatest distance. Which statement best evaluates the student's prediction.

Responses
The student is correct because the less distance there is between the magnet and the paperclips the weaker the magnetic force. This means paperclips Y and Z should move more than W and X.

The correct evaluation of the student's prediction is:
**The student is incorrect because the less distance there is between the magnet and the paperclips the stronger the magnetic force. This means paperclips W and X should move more than Y and Z.**
This statement accurately reflects the principle that the strength of the magnetic force decreases with increasing distance. As a result, paper clips that are closer to the magnet (W and X) would be expected to move further than those that are farther away (Y and Z).
**The student is incorrect because the less distance there is between the magnet and the paperclips the stronger the magnetic force. This means paperclips W and X should move more than Y and Z.**
