Here's how to perform Activity 11: Materials needed: Bar magnet, iron nail, copper wire, aluminium foil, coin, paper clips, plastic ruler, wooden stick, plastic bottle cap, Styrofoam ball, rubber band. Step 1: a) Position the bar magnet on a level surface. This ensures a stable setup for testing the other objects. Step 2: b) In turn, bring each of the other pieces of equipment close to the bar magnet, one at a time. Observe if there is any attraction (the object sticks to the magnet) or repulsion (the object is pushed away from the magnet). Step 3: c) Classify each object as magnetic or non-magnetic based on your observations. Magnetic objects will be attracted to the bar magnet. Non-magnetic objects will show no noticeable attraction or repulsion. Here is the classification in a table: Magnetic Objects — Non-Magnetic ObjectsIron nail — Copper wire Paper clips — Aluminium foil Coin Plastic ruler Wooden stick Plastic bottle cap Styrofoam ball Rubber band
