HOW TO MAKE A COMPASS EXPERIMENT

Today we have been experimenting with magnets and magnetism. First we read how to proceed presenting the materials we need and the process we were going to follow. Then we thought about our hypothesis.

Later we started the experiment. First we made the compass. We checked with another compass that it was working well. The next step it was to add another compass into the bowl. We realized they tended to stuck together. Then we magnetized the compasses moving the magned closser to the bowl. Afterwards, we did the last part of the process: Spining the bowl in order to realize the compass was pointng the North despite the fact of moving the water surrounding it.
