In this physics activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will make their very own working compass.

Learners use compasses to detect the magnetic field created by current moving through a wire. This is one of four activities learners can complete related to PhysicsQuest 2008.

In this activity about magnetism (page seven of the pdf), learners experiment with magnets to better understand how magnetic fields work.

Learners drop a magnet through a coil of wire to create electric current in a circuit. LEDs in the circuit allow learners to detect the direction of current flow.
