| Explain how a compass works. | A compass points north because all magnets have two poles , a north pole and a south pole, and the north pole of one magnet is attracted to the south pole of another magnet. The Earth is a magnet that can interact with other magnets in this way, so the north end of a compass magnet is drawn to align with the Earth's magnetic field. |
Why does a compass point north?,  | All magnets have two poles and the north pole of one magnet is attracted to the south pole of another magnet. The compass needle is one magnet and the earth is the other magnet. |
What does this picture show?,  | Earth's magnetic field |
What does this picture show?,  | How the opposite poles of magnets attract and that the compass needle is a magnet that works by being attracted to the opposite pole of the bar magnet. |
