A Compass! 6th grade

The Earth’s magnetism

The Earth behaves as if it contains a giant magnet. It produces a magnetic field in which the field lines are most concentrated at the poles. The Earth’s magnetic field affects the needles in compasses. 

Emilio showed us a compass which comprises a magnetic needle mounted on a pivot (so it can turn freely) and a dial to show the direction.
