I. PROBLEM

- How to make a temporary compass?

II. TITLE

- Jar Compass

III. 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.

IV. MATERIALS

a. What are the things you need in solving your problem? Are you going to buy them

or just borrow?

- I won’t 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 directionstick 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.

I. PROBLEM

- How to make a temporary compass?

II. TITLE

- Jar Compass

III. 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 earth’s 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.

V. 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 

7/31/2019 JarCompassR(1)

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/jarcompassr1 10/11

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 What happens

Stroked on the magnet Pointed towards north

 Not stroked Hung freely

 b. The needle will not point towards north if it’s not stroked on the magnet.

VII. CONCLUSION

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