With this kit, they'll magnetise a needle, balance it on a floating cork, and watch as invisible magnetic forces align it with Earth's poles. It's a mesmerising first step into physics, perfect for curious 6-to-8-year-olds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour young builder will construct a working compass from scratch. Guided by simple steps and the included compass template card, they'll witness a magnetised needle rotate freely in water until it settles exactly north-just like the compasses explorers used long ago.
