Read the article explaining how to make a compass. Then answer the questions that follow.How Can You Make a Compass?by Gabriel ReubenGather the following equipment: A barmagnet, a 6-inch piece of thread, a needle,a pin, a small piece of cellophane tape, anempty jar with a cover, and a compass.Follow this procedure:1. Tie one end of the thread around themiddle of the magnet so that the magnetbalances when you hold it by the thread.When the magnet stops swaying, see whichway the north pole is pointing. Compare thiswith the way the compass needle is pointing.NSYou will observe: When the magnet comesto rest, the north pole points north.2. Rub the needle lengthwise along one ofthe poles of the magnet; each stroke must be inthe same direction, not back and forth. Whenthe needle is magnetized enough to attract thepin, tie the thread around the middle of theneedle so that it balances. Tape the other end ofthe thread to the inside of the jar cover. Lowerthe needle into the jar so that it hangs freelywhen you tighten the cover. Compare the waythe compass and the needle point.You will observe: The needle is now acompass. It points north, as does the compass.The earth itself is a tremendous magnet.The magnetic poles of the earth are said tobe huge deposits of magnetite. The north4NECAP PT2004-2005 Grade-5 Read F-1NSEmagnetic pole is about 1400 miles away fromthe geographic North Pole, and the southmagnetic pole is about 1400 miles awayfrom the geographic South Pole. The earth’smagnetic poles change position from time totime. Magnets are attracted to the magneticpoles. This is why the poles of magnets arecalled north-seeking and south-seeking, andwhy magnets can serve as compasses.Because the magnetic poles andgeographic poles are not at the same place,mariners and others who must get accurateinformation from their compasses correcttheir compass reading with a chart whichcompensates for the error of the compass invarious locations. The disparity between themagnetic and geographic poles is called theangle of declination. The magnet points totrue north only in those places which lie in astraight line with the north geographic poleand the north magnetic pole.It is said that the earth’s magnetic fieldcauses objects made of iron, nickel, or cobaltanywhere in the world to become magnetizedif they remain unmoved for very long periodsof time.WARNING: Don’t let the magnet get too closeto the compass. The magnet can attract thecompass needle and weaken its effectiveness.7W
