I’d like to share a magical scientific way on how you can make a simple compass: First, carefully take a sewing needle and rub it on your hair for approximately 30–40 times to build up static electricity. This will create a small magnetic charge to the needle. Next, find a small leaf that will float and cautiously lay the needle on it. Fill a bowl of water and let your needle-bearing leaf-boat float on it. You will see the boat slowly revolve by itself and orient in a north-south position. This occurs because the magnetized needle acts within Earth’s magnetic field, resembling a real compass. This is a great way to teach your kids about navigation, magnetism, and nature while having fun!
