V. STUDENT REFLECTION
This is a short evaluative test at the end of the lesson. The students will be asked to reflect on the
topic in order to deepen their understanding of the lesson.

List all the things that you learned or discovered in this lesson.

I learned that magnetic compass is a instrument in navigation or surveying, an

instrument for determining direction on the surface of Earth by means of a magnetic
pointer that aligns itself with Earth’s magnetic field. The magnetic compass is the
oldest and most familiar type of compass and is used in different forms in aircraft,
ships, and land vehicles and by surveyors.Magnetic compass is used to steer the ship
on a fixed course. The compass readings needs to be accurate when at sea, because
an error of one or two degrees in long sea passages can make a difference of nautical
miles in reaching the destination and might consume more time than expected. The
compass is also used for taking bearing of terrestrial and celestial objects for
navigation. Therefore, errors needs to be nil or minimum when it comes to Magnetic
compass.The compass reading at sea must be precise and accurate as much as
possible.
