Description
Practical 30 in the History in STEM practical series.
In this practical the students will learn about navigation and build their own compass, using one of two methods. The practical is very straight-forward, easy to do and a useful demonstration on how objects can be magnetised. It also includes a small demo/extension task in the teacher instructions (last page), which can be used to take the experiment even further.
More about the History in STEM practical Series
This series is designed to bring quality cross-curricula material to STEM subjects, that help students to explore and discover phenomena normally taught, while getting a glimpse into the history of its development.
In addition, a number of the practicals give the students the opportunity to play “Mythbusters”, looking at a number of different methods and having to reason why one or the other was the more likely or useful method.
From Ancient Greece to Vikings, China to the Golden age of the Muslim empire and beyond to India, the series takes a look at some of the most important STEM achievements throughout history.
There is a plan for about 35-40 of these such practicals in this series, so, if you liked this one, consider looking at some of the others, or check out some of the bundles available.
