Khan Academy: Compass: Which Way Is North?
This video demonstrates the process of making a compass: How would you know which way is north if you had no reference? Can the direction of stroke alone tell you this? Are you sure? [1:00]
Khan Academy
Khan Academy: Compass Build (Stroke Direction)
This video demonstrates the process of making a compass: Does the direction in which we stroke the needle determine the final orientation? [1:13]
Khan Academy
Khan Academy: Compass Build (Magnet Orientation)
