Science 9 – In an effort to unravel what happens with the paperclips, I had the students walk through an experiment which would hopefully isolate one variable to test. The Independent Variable turned out to be heating time, keeping everything else the same. This time around the students were careful to pay attention to flame height, where in the flame the paperclip was placed, etc. Unfortunately the results were just as inconclusive as before.
