Making a Compass for an Reading activity



Mr Thurlow asked us to complete an activity in our school journal. Each step, we had to take photo's to show how we did it.

You will need a needle, leaf, magnet and a big bowl of water.

What happen:

Step 1- Stroke the end of the needle along the magnet. Keep pulling the needle back and forth for a least a minute.

Step 2- Float the leaf into the bowl

Step 3- Then place the needle on the leaf.

The needle started pointed to the north, we checked this with another compass.
