The student should increase the number of wire wraps around the iron nail and/or increase the strength of the battery. This will increase the magnetic field produced by the electromagnet, allowing it to pick up more paper clips. Additionally, using a stronger iron core for the nail can also increase the magnetic strength of the electromagnet.
