Hi. I'm Scott for Expert Village and today I'm going to teach you how to make a Chinese
compass. The next part we need, of course, is a pen in order to suspend our needle from.
The string is going to wrap around it and then the needle is going to be hanging underneath
it as it sits in the open glass and can spin. The only necessary thing you need this for
is literally to suspend the needle and string from it. So, you can use a pen or a pencil
or anything along those lines should be fine. Lastly, the item that we need is a tall glass.
Make sure it's a wide glass, too. Try not to do one of those little juice glasses that
you get from a diner, unless of course, you have little needles and little magnets (that
might work better). Now, using the bigger glass and making sure it's clear lets you
see everything that is going on in there and makes the experiment work out perfectly. So
let's get started, shall we? Be sure to tune in to the other segments of this series to
make sure that you can properly follow all of the necessary steps in order to properly
finish this project.
