How to make a Floating Needle Compass Science Experiment
In this Video we show you the steps to conduct this cool science experiment where we create a compass out of a needle, a piece of paper and a magnet. You can follow along at home using a few common items and you too can make a needle compass too.

How to make a Floating Needle Compass Science Experiment

=======================================
Experiment Details
Items Needed
===========
* Sewing Needle
* Magnet
* Sturdy Paper (enough to cut out a circle two inches in diameter)
* Scissors
* Tape
* Water
* Shallow Dish
* Compass (optional, but it's good to have for comparison)
Instructions
===========
Step 1 - Use scissors to cut a circle out of the piece of paper. The circle should be approximately 2 inches in diameter
Step 2 - Tape a sewing needle in the middle of the circle.
Step 3 - Fill a shallow dish with water.
Step 4 - Use a magnet, and rub it along the needle in the same direction about 20 times.
Step 5 - Slowly place the piece of paper into the water. It will float along the top.
Step 6 - Watch as the circle begins to spin around until the needle is pointing in the direction of north, just like a compass. Note: Validate the direction by comparing it to an actual compass
