Compasses have been providing orientation for hundreds of years. This kit for a compass with needle bearing and large wind rose gives hobbyists a basic understanding of how it works.
The magnetic compass comes with a permanent magnet that magnetises the compass needle when stroked. It provides a fun way to learn about magnetism.
It is important to refresh the magnetisation of the compass needle regularly so that the compass remains fully functional.
