The North and South Pole, Magnetism, and Compasses

• Use a compass rose in relation to local maps of farms. In talking and writing use related terms. (North Pole, South Pole, North magnetic pole, South magnetic pole, magnetic declination or magnetic variation, magnetic storm, terrestrial magnetism, ground conductivity maps, magnetic compass, compass rose, point, magnetic compass, compass rose)

• Use a compass while on a field trip to a farm. Relate the readings on the compass to a map of the farm and a globe to show that north is toward the North Pole and that south is toward the South Pole on whatever map projection is used.

• Locate the north and south poles on globes and various maps. Find places where dairy farms are located. Relate these places to the location of the poles. Turn the globes on their axes or move the maps. Ask the students if the north and south poles are still at the same places on the globes and maps. Place a string between the location of dairy producing areas and the poles. Note that north and south are always toward the poles regardless as to how the representations of the earth are turned. Note the compass rose on the representations.

• Locate the magnetic poles on maps and globes. Compare the north and south poles to the magnetic north and south poles. Read about dairy farms. Learn about how land needed to be surveyed before it could be claimed. Try staking out a small portion of a claim for a "dairy farm." Use a compass to determine where to place markers.

• Use a compass in an orienteering experience on a dairy farm.

• Write directions for finding something related to a dairy farm. Use a compass to locate the item.

• Locate the north and south poles on globes and various maps. Find places where apples are grown. Relate these places to the location of the poles. Turn the globes on their axes or move the maps. Ask the students if the north and south poles are still at the same places on the globes and maps. Place a string between the location of apple producing areas and the poles. Note that north and south are always toward the poles regardless as to how the representations of the earth are turned. Note the compass rose on the representations.

• Use a compass in an orienteering experience in an orchard.

• Write directions for finding something related to apples. Use a compass to locate the item.

• Locate the magnetic poles on maps and globes. Compare the north and south poles to the magnetic north and south poles. Read about pioneers who planted apple orchards. Learn about how land needed to be surveyed before it could be claimed. Try staking out a small portion of a claim for a "farm with an orchard." Use a compass to determine where to place markers.

• Pictures of magnets.

• Pictures taken at the North Pole and South Pole
