Guide the Boy and Penguin Home
Get creative and learn about a picture book called "Lost and Found" by Oliver Jeffers. Then, get ready to help the Boy and the Penguin get to the South Pole!
1 - Gather a bowl of water, sewing pin or needle, magnet, and a small piece of craft foam, cork, or paper.
2 - Build a compass to help guide the Boy and the Penguin home!
3 - How will you know which way is North or South?
4 - Take a photo and share!
Make Your Own Magnetic Compass:
1 - Cut a small circle from a material that will float in water (cork, thick paper, foam, straw, popsicle stick)
2 - Rub the needle across the magnet about thirty to forty times. NOTE: Be sure to stroke in one direction only, not back and forth.
3 - Put the needle on the cut circle and place it on top of the water, in the center of the bowl, away from the edges.
4 - The needle will begin to slowly turn around and eventually will point North and South!
