Leo opened his hand. A small compass sat there. The red needle spun and spun.
The needle pointed at the bird feeder. Leo blinked. The needle pointed right at it!
Look, Leo! Maya tapped the window glass. Her breath made a foggy circle.
They walked through the sunny park. The needle tugged toward a metal bench.
It won't move, Leo frowned. Then Maya pointed to a shiny post. The needle swung toward it.
At the museum, a giant magnet made a floating needle dance. Leo pressed his compass to the glass.
Maya tapped the glass. Leo pulled his compass away. The needle flipped completely around. Whoa!
Back in class, Leo held a magnet near his compass. The needle twirled like a top. Now I know how it works!
