The First Compass Invented

 Hi,

In Hurumanu 3 we are learning about navigation the first thing we did was to watch video clip about how to use a compass. Then we have to search up who made the compass and where they made it here is the activity that we did.

The first person to make a compass was a British man named William Thomson he was a mathematical physicist and an engineer. He made the first compass in china he made the first compass with lodestone a natural magnetized of ore iron.

The compass is also used in a sport like the Orienteering sport the sport is a navigation sport that requires maps and compasses. Hunting also uses compass so they don't get lost in the woods and also sailing sailors also uses compass because there wouldn't be any signs on the middle of the ocean so they would have to use compass.

The Military, Pilot and miners uses compass because they need to find their way through so they don't get lose on their way.


This compass was probably one of the first navigation compasses ...Chinese History timeline | Timetoast timelines
