Usage :
1. Approach the magnet to the both ends of the stick with wrapped foil and with the pencil leads, observe what is happening.
2. When we approach the magnet close to the tip with the foil (NOT touching the foil), the tip should move towards the magnet. This means that aluminum foil is attracted by the magnet, as it is paramagnetic
3. When we approach the magnet close to the tip with pencil leads (NOT touching the pencil leads), the tip should be pushed away from the magnet. This means that the pencil leads made of the graphite, shoved by the magnet, are diamagnetic.

To make a magnetometer you need:
a ping pong ball
a skewer
aluminium foil
pencil leads
a glass
transparent tape
water
a magnet

How to make it :

1. Punch the ping-pong ball with the skewer stick (so that the skewer pierces the ball as smoothly as possible)

2. From the aluminum foil cut a strip about 4 cm wide and about 25 cm long. (or other sizes)

3. Wrap tightly the cut strip at one end of the stick

4. Stick pencil leads at the other end of the stick by means of a transparent tape. So here we have a magnetometer.

5. We level our magnetometer by moving the ball to keep the level.

6. Water is poured into the glass so that there is a surface tension. (To create the so-called hill)

7. On a glass of water we put the magnetometer. If it still does not keep the level, correct this again by moving the ball
