Standard: Show Content Tip
1b Students know how to build a simple compass and use it to detect magnetic effects, including Earth's magnetic field.
Holistic Rating: In-Depth coverage of this standard.
| Pages D16-D17 and D22-D23 provide in-depth coverage of this standard. |
Aspects that help student learning:
Magnetizing a needle, then suspending it, and then testing the effects of a bar magnet on it provides direct experience with the standard.
Aspects that do not help student learning:
The distinction between geographic and magnetic poles (pages D22-D23) is not included in this standard or this science framework, and is not necessary at this grade level.
Students can get confused that the north pole of a compass is a north-seeking pole but Earth's north pole is not north-seeking. Instead, it attracts north-seeking poles (see CONTENT TIP).
