Explain how you would investigate how a magnet works at a distance using a ruler, paper clip, and magnet.

1) Put the paper clip at one end of the ruler and the magnet at the other end.

2) Slowly move the magnet closer to the paper clip

3) Stop when the paperclip begins to move

4) Record where the magnet begins to attract the paperclip

5) Test your experiment again and record the results
