The magnetic compass is sure to be there for you- pointing north!]]> 2017-09-27 19:53:17 UTC https://padlet.com/wrighta887/MagneticCompass/wish/191859982 wrighta887 https://padlet.com/wrighta887/MagneticCompass/wish/191862361 The magnetic compass is an invention meant to give the direction of north. Made to be used with lodestone, the magnetic compass has a limit to its magnetism. If the needle's magnetism wears out, it is best to rub it with lodestone.]]> 2017-09-27 19:59:02 UTC https://padlet.com/wrighta887/MagneticCompass/wish/191862361 wrighta887 https://padlet.com/wrighta887/MagneticCompass/wish/192142786 The magnetic compass is not pointing to the true geographic north. In fact, if the compass is not adjusted during your journey or exploration, it can lead you several kilometers off of a set course.]]> 2017-09-28 15:52:54 UTC https://padlet.com/wrighta887/MagneticCompass/wish/192142786 wrighta887 https://padlet.com/wrighta887/MagneticCompass/wish/192146511 https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/compass/

If your ship is made of iron and/or steel, the ship's magnetism will affect the compass, which is known to be called deviation. Be sure to place soft iron balls or steel magnets next to the compass to improve the accuracy of the magnetic compass.]]> 2017-09-28 19:42:00 UTC https://padlet.com/wrighta887/MagneticCompass/wish/192258995
