How It Works
The pointer is mounted on a low-friction pivot, allowing it to rotate freely.
When aligned with a magnet or placed outdoors:
-
Kids observe how magnetic force influences the pointer
-
They can test wind direction by facing the compass into airflow
-
The PETG dial helps them read directions accurately
A simple, hands-on way to understand navigation and Earth’s magnetic field.
