Is what I learned is to how to make it float. Don't get too close to it with the magnet.
Mikaela says...
I learned that I think that magnetisim is stronger than gravity and I am magic!!!
Clayton says
I learn not to get to close to the magnet or it will stick to the paper clip
Bo says
It takes some time to defy gravity with your device.
Jason says
I learned when I tried constructing and devise my gravity defying device is that its much more difficult then I thought it would.WOO HOO!
vincent says...
I defy the imposibal.
nathanial says
you have to have a shorter string
Cheyenne says
Defying gravity is HARD! How I defied gravity is put a paper clip on my hand, and use the magnet (make sure the MAGNET DOESN'T TOUCH!)
Ashaylah say
That it is very hard and defying. But cool I loved it is hard but what the ha!
Makayla say
That it was very defing!
Gary says
Defeying a magnet is HARD! because it's
hard to get it together.

It was hard to devise how to make the paper clip defy the gravity using just a magnet,a piece of tape,and some string,but it was FUN once you figure it out!
Jordan says...
I Leand gravit go up to
Jaycee says...
I learned that if you put a magnet above a paper clip
just a couple inches away the paper clip will go up!
