Why does a magnet left to float freely on a cork end up pointing north or south?
If a magnet is "left to float freely", it will align to any magnetic field - or more precisely, to the horizontal component of the magnetic field. And if there is no stronger magnet nearby, this field will be governed by Earth's magnetic field.
How can you use a bar magnet and a length of string to make a compass?
Fill the container about half full of water. Float a leaf on the surface of the water, and float the needle on the leaf. That'll be a beautiful demonstration. I think I'll make one, and I thank you for the idea.

What is a way to make a homemade compass?
for this you need an iron pin, a magnet and a plastic cap that can float on water. Magnetize the iron pin by rubbing a magnet on it continuously in one direction for about 15 minutes. Now place the needle in the centre of the plastic cap and hold it in position with cello tape. take a container containing water and put the cap in it such that it floats on it. The pin will always point in north south direction. but the compass can be confused by a magnet placed near it.
