What is a magnetized needle that is attracted to the Earth's North magnetic pole?
It is still a needle, but could be referred to as a compass needle.
What material is a compass made from?
A compass is typically made from a magnetized needle mounted on a pivot. The needle is often made of magnetized steel or other ferrous material that can align itself with the Earth's magnetic field. The housing of the compass may be made from materials such as plastic or metal.

How does a compass needle respond when a compass is placed in a magnetic field?
If a magnetic compass needle is placed in a magnetic Field , its needle deflects and points in the north and south directions
How does a compass needle respond when a compass is placed with a magnetic field?
If a magnetic compass needle is placed in a magnetic Field , its needle deflects and points in the north and south directions
Is it possible to use compass needle at the poles?

If you made another compass with the same materials would the needle point be in the same direction?
the needle points in the direction the magnetic fields wish. The gravity pulls the compass nearer and nearer the magnetic fields.
