PROBLEM How to make a temporary compass? TITLE Jar Compass RATIONALE

a. The background of the problem. It answers the following questions: 1. How did you arrive at that kind of problem? because I want to study the magnetic fields of the earth.

2. Why do you like to investigate that kind of problem where in fact there are hundreds of problem out there? although there are a lot of problems out there, I only need one for this project because one problem is enough. MATERIALS

IV.

a. What are the things you need in solving your problem? Are you going to buy them or just borrow? - I wont buy the materials ,I will borrow them to save cash Needle Magnet Scissors Small piece of card Jar Thread Compass V. PROCEDURE

a. What are the orderly steps you are going to do to solve your problem? collect all the needed materials
Stroke the needle on the magnet. You must stroke on only one direction stick the needle through the card.

puncture the lid of the jar and the card. attach a string from the card onto the lid of the jar and shut the lid of the jar. Note that the card must not touch the bottom of the jar. check the position of the needle if it matches the position on the compass.

VI.

IMPLICATION

a. In case your problem will be solved, what will be its importance to the school or to the community? Will your findings benefit others? It will be of help to the students, especially the scouts, because it teaches them how to make a temporary compass out of simple materials in case they go on a camping trip and get lost.

PROBLEM How to make a temporary compass? TITLE Jar Compass ABSTRACT

1. Purpose of the study - the purpose of this study is to learn about how magnets work and how magnetic fields affect them. 2. Procedure collect all the needed materials
Stroke the needle on the magnet. You must stroke on only one direction stick the needle through the card. puncture the lid of the jar and the card. attach a string from the card onto the lid of the jar and shut the lid of the jar. Note that the card must not touch the bottom of the jar. check the position of the needle if it matches the position on the compass. .

3. Findings - The magnetized needle is free to turn on its own and will always point north and south. The needle is acting as a magnet and is attracted to the earths magnetic force. IV. INTRODUCTION

- Compasses are tools used by many travelers from all ages, Such as scouts. The purpose of this project is to teach tem to make a compass with scrap materials.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

- Balancing fork. The secret to this science stunt lies in your understanding of the concepts of center of gravity and stability. The center of gravity of any object is the point about which you can balance the object as if all the masses were concentrated or gathered at this point. In other words, it's the point at which the object balances from left to right, front and back, and top and bottom. In your balancing fork act, the center of gravity is directly below the spot where the toothpick rests on the rim of the glass. If

you look closely at your balancing fork-art, you'll notice that the fork handles are positioned below the toothpick. This actually puts the center of gravity directly below the point where the toothpick is balanced (called the pivot point). Here's where it gets really strange: the center of gravity, where the forks balance front and back, left and right, top and bottom, is actually hanging in mid-air. IV. PROCEDURE a. MATERIALS Needle Magnet Scissors Small piece of card Jar Thread Compass b. PROCEDURE collect all the needed materials
Stroke the needle on the magnet. You must stroke on only one direction stick the needle through the card. puncture the lid of the jar and the card. attach a string from the card onto the lid of the jar and shut the lid of the jar. Note that the card must not touch the bottom of the jar. check the position of the needle if it matches the position on the compass.

VI. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION a. Condition of needle Stroked on the magnet Not stroked What happens Pointed towards north Hung freely

b. The needle will not point towards north if its not stroked on the magnet.

VII. CONCLUSION - Any kind of magnetic metal can be made into a temporary magnet. If you rub a magnet on it.

VIII. RECOMMENDATION - If other people plan on doing this project, I recommend they do proper research before proceeding on doing it, so that they can finish it without complications. IX. X. RESEARCHERS Ghyeneth Chia ADVISER
