What is the value of a 1965 steel penny?
The US only made steel cents in 1943 to save copper for the war effort. Any 1965 cent that appears to be steel is almost certainly plated. You can (and should) always test a suspected steel coin with a magnet before jumping to conclusions. If it's not attracted to a magnet it's not steel.
What are two types of magnet and their shapes?

How does a compass use magnetism?
A compass would not work without a magnet. Inside the compass is a magnet which moves to line up with the Earth's natural magnetism. The north pole of the magnet is attracted to the south pole of the Earth. As such, the magnet moves to always be lining up in this way. When you use a magnet, you can see this in action as the needle moves around to always point northward and from knowing this, you can tell which way you are facing.
