The compass is my favorite invention so far because it is a good tool. It helps divers not get lost while swimming in the ocean. If you are lost in the woods, you can use a compass to find your way home. If a pirate was looking for buried treasure and the map said to go north, he could use a compass to find the hidden treasure. A pilot can use a compass so he doesn't get lost in the rain or clouds.
Before the compass was invented, men used the sun and stars to navigate. If it got cloudy or rainy, men would get lost or they had to stay home and not get to work.
The Chinese were the first to invent the compass. The Chinese used spoons instead of needles. Isn't that hilarious?
Well written Liam. Very interesting. I didn't know the Chinese used spoons in their compasses. That is funny.
