Cut a circle about 2 inches in diameter out of the paper.
Carefully thread the needle through the paper circle twice, but not all the way through, so that the needle lays flat on the paper.
Place the paper and needle on the surface of the water. Both ends of the needle should be above the floating paper circle.You can make a compass using a needle and a magnet. It's very simple and fun. Learn about magnetism.
Watch it slowly rotate and then stop.
