Mapping A Magnetic Field

A magnet is placed in the middle of a large piece of paper and its position is marked. The compass is put near the magnet. A short arrow is drawn next to the compass, which is shown the direction the needle is pointing. The compass is moved to another position. Another arrow is drawn in order to show the direction of the needle. The compass is marked and short arrows are drawn in about 20 places around the magnet. Curved lines are showed by the arrows that ran from the north pole of the magnet to the south pole. The lines are drawn close together near the poles, where the magnetism is strongest. Away from the poles, where the magnetism is weaker, the lines are drawn further apart.
