They recorded their observations in the table below: [Data Table: Magnetic Testing] - Object 1 (Iron Nail): Attracted to magnet - Object 2 (Aluminum Foil): Not attracted - Object 3 (Copper Wire): Not attracted - Object 4 (Steel Paperclip): Attracted to magnet Based on these observations, which conclusion is supported by the evidence?

Magnetism is a characteristic physical property that can separate iron and steel from aluminum and copper. All metal objects are attracted to magnets regardless of what metal they are made from. Magnetism is a chemical property because the magnet permanently changes the metals. Aluminum and copper are non-metals because they are not attracted to a magnet.

Magnetism is a characteristic physical property that can separate iron and steel from aluminum and copper.
