I guess the easiest way to make it turn quite freely is to can hang it from a string.
bar magnet :- cuboid shapecylindrical magnet :- cylinder shape
compass
Horseshoe, Bar, U, Ring, Circle, etc.
The largest Roman numeral number that can be made without using a bar is 3,999, which is represented by the letters MMMCMXCIX.
3.58 with the bar only over the 8
A compass magnet or a compass needle.
The bar that affects the compass is the magnet, The bar that is attracted to the magnet is iron, and the bar that is not attracted to the magnet is aluminum.

Well there isn't any positive or negative on a magnet. But to find North and South, you can suspend a bar magnet on a string and see which way it points, or use a compass. Remember that the North Magnetic Pole defines what Magnetic North is, and on a compass or a bar magnet the SOUTH magnetic pole point at it.
The small bar magnet has a stronger magnetic field, at least at short distances.
Fill the container about half full of water. Float a leaf on the surface of the water, and float the needle on the leaf. That'll be a beautiful demonstration. I think I'll make one, and I thank you for the idea.
Use a compass. It will point to a magnet's south pole.
Use a compass. The north (-seeking) pole of the compass will be attracted to the south pole of the magnet.
The compass needle is a magnet and as you have probably tried, a magnet will 'stick' to an Iron bar. Thus as you move the compass near the Iron, its magnetic field lines are bent by the Iron and become locally stronger than the field lines of the planet, deflecting the needle away from north.
A plotting compass is a small magnet which is suspended and is free to rotate. When it is near a magnet, the compass will always point in a particular direction (the north pole's direction) becasue of the force of the magnetic field.
You magnetize an iron needle permanently by stroking it with a strong bar magnet.
The floating saucer-magnet system become a compass, and it will line up with the earth's magnetic field.
