The earth's core is made of highly magnetic materials which are iron, nickel and cobalt. This makes the earth magnetic. The compass which we all know is also called as the lodestone, points to the geographical north pole but magnetic south pole. The geographical north pole is called the magnetic south pole as if it were the magnetic north pole the south side of the compass would point to it.. ]]> 2021-10-01 03:57:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ekta5/60prnx8jay3jcqey/wish/1783256872 https://padlet.com/ekta5/60prnx8jay3jcqey/wish/1783257517 Earth's core consists of iron, nickel and cobalt. These are all magnetic metals. Now, The geographical north pole is actually the magnetic south pole, and the geographical south pole is the magnetic north pole. This means that if a BAR magnet is freely suspended in the air, then the poles will begin to attract. This is also explained, where the bar magnet's SOUTH will attract to the magnetic NORTH of the earth, but still the geographical south This discovery led to the invention called the Compass, and it helped in revolutionary voyages.]]> 2021-10-01 03:57:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ekta5/60prnx8jay3jcqey/wish/1783257517 pranoymathur2 https://padlet.com/ekta5/60prnx8jay3jcqey/wish/1783259823 Directive Property is the property in which when a magnet is suspended in the air, the north pole of the magnet will always point to the geographical north. This is because the Earth's core is made of magnetic materials and the Earth acts as a giant magnet. The magnetic north of the Earth is the geographical south, so the north pole of the magnet points north because the opposite sides attract. This is extremely useful for compasses. ]]> 2021-10-01 03:58:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ekta5/60prnx8jay3jcqey/wish/1783259823 madhulikavinod2 https://padlet.com/ekta5/60prnx8jay3jcqey/wish/1783260654 Three facts about magnets: 

- Like poles repel and unlike poles attract each other

- The magnetic north pole points to the Earth's magnetic south pole (geographical north pole) and vice versa

- The Earth is a big magnet whose core is made up of iron, nickel, and cobalt, which are magnetic materials. 

The directive property of magnets

Like poles repel and unlike poles attract. The Earth acts as a big magnet because its core is made out of iron, nickel, and cobalt, which are magnetic materials. The north pole of a magnet faces the geographical north pole, which is the magnetic south pole, and vice versa. ]]> 2021-10-01 03:58:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ekta5/60prnx8jay3jcqey/wish/1783260654 sohummishra1 https://padlet.com/ekta5/60prnx8jay3jcqey/wish/1783260848 1. Unlike poles attract; like poles repel
2. Earth is like a big magnet, because its core is made of iron, cobalt and nickel.
3. The magnetic south pole is at the geographical north pole. Therefore, suspended bar magnets' north poles will always turn to the geographical north pole.]]> 2021-10-01 03:58:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ekta5/60prnx8jay3jcqey/wish/1783260848 vittaliyengar1 https://padlet.com/ekta5/60prnx8jay3jcqey/wish/1783260999 Like poles repel and opposite poles attract. The earth is a giant magnet due to the iron, cobalt and nickel in the core. The magnetic south, is where the geographical north is. Therefore, the north pole of a suspended bar magnet will be attracted to the magnetic south because opposite poles attract. The geographical south will host the magnetic north, attracting the magnet's south pole to the geographical south]]> 2021-10-01 03:59:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ekta5/60prnx8jay3jcqey/wish/1783260999 https://padlet.com/ekta5/60prnx8jay3jcqey/wish/1783261315 Our Earths north and south poles, attract to a magnets north and south poles. This is because Earths north and south poles are actually the magnetic south and north, which is why the north side of a magnet attracts to Earths north pole, and a south side of a magnet attracts to earths south pole. Thats why the attractive property of magnets still applies to the directive property of Earth. ]]> 2021-10-01 03:59:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ekta5/60prnx8jay3jcqey/wish/1783261315 adhyabhat2 https://padlet.com/ekta5/60prnx8jay3jcqey/wish/1783261927 The directive property is the property which shows which direction the magnetic pole points to. Like poles repel and unlike poles attract. The earth is a big magnet which has 2 poles : north and south. The magnetic north pole is the geographical south pole and vice versa. The lines of the magnetic field lines start at the north pole and end at the south pole. Earth has a very magnetic core which is made of nickel, iron and cobalt. Magnets are called Lodestones because they have the directive property.]]> 2021-10-01 03:59:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ekta5/60prnx8jay3jcqey/wish/1783261927 antara9 https://padlet.com/ekta5/60prnx8jay3jcqey/wish/1783262119 Opposite poles of a magnet attract, the geographic north pole is the magnetic south pole and vice versa. The earth acts as a large magnet due to it being filled with magnetic metals and this causes the north pole of magnets to be attracted to the north, they're attracted to the pole. This makes them very useful in navigational purposes]]> 2021-10-01 03:59:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ekta5/60prnx8jay3jcqey/wish/1783262119 aditiraman1 https://padlet.com/ekta5/60prnx8jay3jcqey/wish/1783263502 Directive property ~

A magnet always points towards one direction as the Earth is a magnet as it has a very magnetic core, made of lots of iron and nickel. If the North side of a magnet points towards some direction , that direction is the magnetic south pole (as opposites attract) but it is the geographical north pole, vice versa.
A magnet is known as a lodestone as it follows directive property

The earth is also a big magnet, and have a north and south pole, and has a big attractive core made of nickel, iron and cobalt.
Since unlike poles attract, the earth's geographical pole is attracted to the south pole of a magnet. This directive property is used to find the directions in a compass or navigational tools. These magnets which occur in the leading property are also called lodestones]]> 2021-10-01 04:03:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ekta5/60prnx8jay3jcqey/wish/1783267565 https://padlet.com/ekta5/60prnx8jay3jcqey/wish/1783269767 What I learned....

~Like poles repel, and unlike poles attract

~The earth is an magnet,Because of it's core which contains iron and nickel.

~The magnetic south pole is the geographical north pole and vice verse.

~The directive property is what help compasses work,compasses are also known as lodestones.

We use magnets to navigate, but something we don't know, is that the north pole of a magnet points towards the geographical north, but it is actually pointing towards the magnetic south. 
The earth is a big magnet! the core of the earth is rich in iron, nickel and cobalt which have magnetic properties. This creates a magnet inside the core which then creates a magnetic field for the earth.]]> 2021-10-01 04:05:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ekta5/60prnx8jay3jcqey/wish/1783270947 kritimurugan1 https://padlet.com/ekta5/60prnx8jay3jcqey/wish/1783271600 Earth is a huge magnet. The magnetic north pole is the geographical south and the magnetic south pole is the geographical north. The core of the earth contains of iron, nickel and cobalt which all gets attracted by magnets. The directive property of magnets states that a freely suspended magnet comes to rest in the NS direction. This was mainly used in quests and voyages in the olden times using a magnetic compass. Like poles repel and unlike poles attract.
