SLC science

In science we have done some lab tests. One test was testing the strength of a metal paper clip by heating it red hot and cooling it really fast. Here are the results.
Hypothesis
I think the first paper clip that is heated will take more bends to break. The second paper clip I think will break in less amounts of bends.
Procedure

Paper clip without heat

Paper clip when cooled with room temperature

Paper clip cooled by water

Analyze
the paper clip that cooled in water.
Cooling in room temperature.
When the metal is heated is then cooled quickly it because stronger nut less flexible. When the metal is cooled over a long period if time it becomes more flexible.

This lab was to test the strength of a paper clip. We got to go into groups of two. I was with Chris. The first step was seeing how many times we can bend a paper clip till it breaks. The second step was heating a paper clip till red hot for ten seconds then let it cool for a bit. The third step was heating another paper clip till red hot then putting it in cold water to dry. See the chart for results. If I were to do it again I would do the lab twice so I get more data about the strength of paper clips. My weaknesses in science is getting to know new things.
