Experimental Purpose:
Ancient compass: Little friends, do you know what this instrument is called? When was it first used? Why does the compass always point to the south? Why doesn't it point east or west? Today, let's make our own compass to explore!

Theoretical Analysis:
Knowledge point 1: Magnet's two ends have magnetic poles: The poles are divided into the South Pole (S) which is usually represented by red, and the North Pole (N) which is represented by blue. When the N pole and S pole are close, they will attract each other. When like poles are close, they will repel each other. This is the principle of attraction between opposites and repulsion between like.

Knowledge point 2: Magnetization: Originally, iron metal pointers did not have magnetic properties. The process of acquiring magnetism is called magnetization. Why can they be magnetized? Because the pointers are composed of magnetic molecules. Before being magnetized, these magnetic molecules were arranged in a disordered manner. When the magnetic molecules cancel each other out, there is no magnetism. When the pointer is rubbed against a magnet, the internal magnetic molecules are attracted and arranged in the same direction. Thus, magnetism is produced.

Knowledge point 3: Magnetic fields at the Earth's poles: Since our Earth is a large magnet. A compass is a small magnet, due to the principle of like poles repelling and unlike poles attracting. The compass always points in one direction. The end pointing south is called the South Pole (S). The end pointing north is called the North Pole (N).
