3.carefully place the paper on the water trying not to get water on top of the paper

To make a paper clip float, you can use the surface tension of water. Gently place the paper clip onto the surface of the water, making sure it rests flat. The surface tension will create enough buoyancy for the paper clip to float.
Depends on the size of the paper clip. Paper clips come in a range of sizes. Agreed. Also: The weight of one standard paper clip = 0.00043kg x 9.8m/s2 = 0.004214 N, or 0.000947345 lbf. So if you divide 1 lbf by the weight of a standard paper clip given then with that size of paper clip it would take about 1,056 to make a pound.
Yes a paper clip is able to float in water. Take a bowl, fill it up to the top with water, take a paper towel and put it into the bowl, let it sit there for 3 seconds...then put the paper clip on it, and slowly remove the towel. This is able to work by Surface tension.Depending on the size, some paperclips can due to the high surface tension of water.
You leave it in water or out in the rain for a long period of time.
The paper clip will not be attracted to the bar magnet as strongly because the sheet acts as a barrier that weakens the magnetic field between the magnet and the paper clip.
When a paper clip is stroked by a magnet 30 times, it becomes temporarily magnetized. This means the paper clip will also act like a magnet, attracting other small metallic objects. However, the paper clip will lose its magnetism over time and return to its original state.
