SAMPLE SLIDE
Compass
(Lodestone used by Han dynasty)
Modern day compass
Lodestone (used to magnetize other metals) was discovered & used in the Han Dynasty (202
BC – 220 AD). It was then used to make navigational compasses around 1100 AD. It was
copied by Arabians who also shared it with Europeans by 1190 AD.
This made it possible for explorers to travel the oceans and discover new lands. They also
used it when building communities – to make a building that faces north, for example.
