Using a Compass Alongside Magnet Demonstrations
A simple compass is often the clearest way to show students that a magnetic field exists and has direction, before moving on to stronger demonstration magnets. It pairs well with a Demonstration Magnetic Needle with Stand for a fuller magnetism unit covering both handheld and mounted needle instruments. Confirm needle sensitivity and housing material with Lab Glassware Manufacturer before ordering.
