Revisiting the Compass

We’re exploring the history of the last two thousand years or so, and beyond… We reached the year 300, in which we learned the Chinese invented the magnetic compass, later turned into a navigational tool around 1000.
A few years back, Lily made a compass out of a little boat in a bowl of water. I thought I’d made a post on the project, but I can’t find it anywhere, so I’ll post some images here, and perhaps we’ll redo the project and see what she gains from it this time.
