Abstract-Daisy: (use past tense)
How is it that a dollar bill contains iron oxide; by the ink. Does a pen a regular pen contains iron oxide too? What we did for procedure and method was that we poke a hole near the end of dollar bill with a paper clip, and then attach the paper clip to the dollar. And bring a mega-magnet toward the bottom of the bill. We will observe what will happen. We will repeat with other types of bills. Our observation was that the dollar bill lift up by the mega-magnet of the end of the dollar we tried with other dollar bills such as 1 dollar bill, 5, and 10 dollar bills but one of them did not lift up as much as the 5 dollar bill. (Whats your conclusion?)
Problem: What is the effect of a magnet to a dollar bills?
Purpose:MiguelMICs allow banks to better facilitate and standardize the way they handle customer’s checks. Reader/sorter machines at bank pick up the MICs by using magnetization and then sort checks into their appropriate destinations. Since the invention of the MIC, incidences of check fraud have declined (source?0. This is because it is very expensive and difficult to create or alter MICs. MICs also make incidence of error in reading a check very rate. Most large banks are handling thousands, even millions, of customers’ bank accounts and even the smallest error can create a disaster. With the advent of MICs working in conjunction with the reader/ sorter machines, the incidence of error in reading checks is drastically reduced. A reader/sorter machine has and error margin or less than 1 percent Busch.A,eHOW contributor -2013. .
History
MICs have been around since the 1960s, it was first introduced in most American banks because bankers were looking to standardize and universalize their ability to read and sort checks through MICR technology. This meant that a district font would have to be created for the MICR line at the bottom of paper checks. General Electric, who owned the patent for the MICR line, asked one of its employees, George Jacobi, to create a font for the MIC’s that was unique and able to be used with MICR technology. Jacobi came up with the E-13B font for MICs. That font is still used on all dollar bills and most checks in America today.(eHOW)
Process-Daisy
The first important thing to understand is how magnets work? We all know that magnets have two sides a negative and a positive. The reason that magnet have two distinct poles is due to orientation of the molecules that make up the magnet. Exactly why the bill is attracted to the magnet? Is useful for the physics trick above, this technology (awk).
Special fonts that produce distinctive patterns were developed specifically to be used in magnetic ink character. The most common use for magnetic ink character recognition is in banking. Computers detect magnetized metals in the ink of the character and determine their sequence from the spacing of ink (source?). Magnetic ink character recognition, often abbreviated as micr, is a method of computerized reading .The most important thing is how magnets work but why does the iron oxide in a dollar bill attract to a magnet. Under the right circumstances iron oxide can act like a magnet.

(This is copied straight from the source; give credit; Add topic sentence and transitions to explain to people why they should be interested in your project)
Today, we have magnetic ink that the US federal uses to print money. The ink contains iron oxide and other materials, which are magnetized to dollar bills. For example commercial uses of MICR have equipment and protocols to accurate and process quantities of personal checks and other financial uses (source?) . The consumer uses of MICR are compatible inks, printers, and check printing software is for small businesses and home applications. Its enabled to the general public to their advantages of the security and reliability feat. of MICR technology that’s only viable (do you know what this word mean?) for large corporations and financial institutions.
Hypothesis-Christian:
If a magnet was put next to a 10 dollar bill, then the 10 dollar bill will have a strong magnetic attraction
Variables-Miguel:
Materials-Christian: (how many of each? use bullets, not dash)
1 Dollar Bill ($1, $5, $10)
3 Paper Clip's
1 Mega Magnet
3 22 inch. Strings
1 Ruler(cm.)
1 Roll of Tape
Procedure-Daisy:(begin with commanding verb)
(Poke) a hole near the end of the dollar bill with a paper clip, and then attach the paper clip to the dollar bill.
Holding the bill by the paper clip, bring the meg-magnet toward the bottom of the bill.
Observe what will happen. (what should be recorded? list rating scale)
Repeat steps 1 & 3 with other types of bills. (how many times?)
Observation-Daisy: Data Table-Christian: Analysis-Miguel: Conclusion-Christian:
We thought that the ten dollar bill will have the most magnetic ink, because it looks like it has the most ink out of a 1, or 5. In our experiment only two things went wrong. Which are the wind, and the magnet. We needed a bigger magnet to attract the magnetic ink, and we need to do this experiment in a class room so no wind can affect it. The next experiment that I would want to do that involes money and magnets is the same experiment but instead of money I will use check books. Reflection-Daisy: (read aloud for grammar check)
What I learn on this experiment was that a dollar bill has ink that it contains iron oxide. Which that makes the dollar bill attract a magnet to it. The why that the dollar bill attract the magnet its by that if you take a magnet and put a magnet above the dollar what will happen to it? Is that the dollar will lift up by the magnet. It was surprising that it work because if it works it will work with other bills such as 5 dollar bill, 10, 20, 50 dollar bill which we can try doing it. What I learn was that a magnet attracts a dollar bill. What it can improve is that we can try other bills around the world that’s if it contains the same ink that contains iron oxide. Ideas for next project are related to a magnet. Why? Because there are about 39 amazing experiments such as erasing a cassette tape and so on.
