To make a magnetic compass, magnetize a needle by rubbing it with a magnet, then float the needle on a small piece of cork or paper in water. It will align itself with Earth’s magnetic field.
To create your own magnetic compass, first magnetize a needle by rubbing it with a magnet in one direction only. Next, carefully float the needle on a small piece of cork or paper placed in a shallow dish of water. The needle will align itself along the Earth’s magnetic field lines, pointing towards the geographic north and south. This simple setup demonstrates the principles of magnetism and how magnetic fields influence the direction of magnetized objects.
