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
