What will you need? * 1 sewing needle * 1 magnet (maybe there is one on the refrigerator) * 1 bowl of water * 1 small piece of paper What to do? # Stroke the dull end of a needle across the magnet 60 times, going in the same direction each time. # Now place the small piece of paper on top of the water in the center of the bowl. # Set the needle on top of the paper and gently move the paper to cause it to spin slightly. Make sure there is no metal nearby (does the table you are working on have metal on it or under it?) Also, make sure the magnet you used to magnetize the needle is at least 2 feet away from the bowl. If the paper gets stuck to the side of the bowl, gently nudge it toward the center again. # Now, wait. What is happening? When the needle and paper have stopped moving completely, the sharp end of the needle is pointing north. You can prove this compass is really pointing north by setting a manufactured compass nearby. Don't set the two compasses too close to each other because they will interfere with each other.

A quartz be most useful to help make a simple compass?
While quartz itself doesn't have magnetic properties to make a compass, you could use a small piece of quartz as a reference point for direction when building a simple compass. By aligning the quartz with the Earth's magnetic field, you could use it as a marker to determine north and orient your compass accordingly.
Hw do you make a compass face the wrong way?
To make a compass face the wrong way, you can do so by placing a strong magnet next to the compass needle. The magnetic force of the magnet will overpower the Earth's magnetic field, causing the compass needle to point in the opposite direction. Remember that this can temporarily disrupt the accuracy of the compass.
