Science Experiment: Compass & Magnetic Field
From: Handy Science Magneticism
1. Tie one end of the magnet exactly in the center of two chairs facing back to back of each other. Mek sure the "N" on one end of the magnet is visable.
2. Tie the other end to a long ruler.
3. Position two chairs close together and place the ruler between the cahirs as shown.
4. Let the magnet hang freely from the ruler.
5. Observe how the magnet moves. When it stops moving, the end marked with the "N" (the red end) will be pointing to the earth's magnetic pull.
The magnetic north pole generates a magnetic force field that affects compasses anywhere on earth. A compass will always align itself with this pole because of the magnetic pull. Id you turn the magnet around it will automatically move back to point at the magnetic north pole.

Sophie's Blog Day 15: What do you think about Native Americans now that you're learning more about them? How was the compass experiment with Grandpa Mike different from the one we did at home? Tell me about reading Dick and Jane with Lily.
I think that the Indians were much more respectful and nicer than the white men because they shared more. The compass experiment with Grandpa turned out successful because we had all the right materials, not like us. I think Lily Knows the majority of Dick and Jane, so she is doing wonderful.
