The Fantastic World of Compasses

Today in PE we learned how compasses process. The needles point to different areas. The compass has 360 degrees on it and works by the magnetic force field around the earth which always pulls the red needle north and the white needle south. A few ways to remember the directions are: Never Eat Soggy Waffles, Never Eat Sour Watermelon, and Never Eat Shredded Wheat. We used the degrees on the compasses to find different areas in the gym. Mr. Flint said, "You were the most quality class with the compasses - even better than my 4th and 5th graders."
