Mini Challenge

Create Your Own Compass

In this activity, students will craft a compass using everyday materials to gain a hands-on understanding of how the Earth's magnetic field interacts with a magnet.

1. Split students into groups of 3 to 4.

2. Provide each group with: a sewing needle, a small bar magnet, a piece of cork or Styrofoam, a bowl of water, and a sheet of paper.

3. Instruct students to rub one end of the needle against the magnet about 30 times in one direction to magnetize it.

4. Have them cut a small piece of cork or Styrofoam and thread the magnetized needle through it to float in the water.

5. Place the cork with the needle in the water and observe how the needle aligns with the Earth's magnetic field, indicating north and south.

6. Students should record their observations and discuss with each other how the experiment illustrates the concepts of magnetic poles and magnetic fields.

The goal of this activity is for students to witness the interaction between magnets and the Earth's magnetic field, reinforcing their grasp of magnetic poles and fields.

**Duration: 30 - 35 minutes

Evaluation Exercises

1. Describe what a magnet is and how it interacts with ferromagnetic materials.

2. Explain the difference between the north and south poles of a magnet.

3. Draw and label the magnetic field around a bar magnet.

4. Provide three examples of how magnetism is applied in the job market.

5. Discuss how an understanding of magnetism can enhance future careers in electrical engineering and medical technology.
