making a compass

 Today we learned how to make a compass with everyday materials. the materials we used to make the compass work was: water, pin, magnet, leaf and an container. the first step was to fill your container 2 cm deep with water. second step was to put an leaf at the top of the water gently so it does not sinks. third step is to grab your magnet and your pin and scrap your pin aside the magnet not to hard tho for 3 minutes. then once the 3 minutes is done you take the pin and carefully place it on top of the leaf make sure it does not sink and wait till it has stopped moving then your done the compass should face to where north is

 one thing that affects a compass reading correctly -

objects such as keys, tables with metal legs, steel screws, phones and even heavy framed spectacles. High voltage power lines, car bodies and flashlight batteries will impact the compass too. Really anything that is built with steel metal or power.

 Aim:

I want to walk in a straight line with no senses.

Hypothesis:

I predict that i will turn to the side while trying to go straight.

Method:

Equipment:

• bucket
• blindfold
• Cotton wool

Instructions:

1. cover your eyes with a blindfold

2. put cotton wool in your ears

3. put the bucket on your head

4. spin in a circle 3 times

5. get your partner to line you up in the right direction 

6. begin walking in a straight line

safety:

• stop walking when you hear the whistle
• if you partner says stop you must stop
• do not walk into objects (buildings and trees and people)

Results:

the first time Maia did the challenge she went straight then started to drift off near the football post then she turned to the middle then when went to the side again.

the second time she kept on going zigzag.

then the third time she was doing really well then she turned left then right then went straight again then when she was really close to the money she turned right and nearly went into the wall.

so my conclusion is that it is impossible to walk dead straight in a line without your senses.

YeAh YeAh!!
