The hypothesis is that the magnetic field of a bar magnet will interact with the Earth's magnetic field to form a complex resultant field.

You will use a compass to determine the direction of a magnetic field at any point in space, explain how two magnetic fields combine, and predict the location of areas where two fields can cancel each other to leave no resultant field.

You will need weak to moderate strength bar magnets, very small compasses, and butcher paper.

Through this project, you'll be able to observe how two magnetic fields combine and predict the location of areas where two fields can cancel each other to leave no resultant field. This phenomenon is known as a "Bermuda Triangle".

This science project is so interesting and unique because it allows students to explore the invisible magnetic fields around a bar magnet and the Earth, and to observe how they interact with each other.

Experiment variations to consider include using different strengths of bar magnets and different sizes of compasses.

Hey there! Here are some awesome videos about this science project that we think you'll really like. They're not only super fun, but they'll also help you learn more about the science behind the project. So sit back, relax, and get ready to have some fun!!
