The Han Dynasty: Science Barrios, Alexis Period 4/5

The Han Dynasty discovered fascinating objects, like a compass and we use it to find our way out when get lost. They were astronomers and they discovered excellent things out in outer space. Another discovery was a invention we use until now, it’s a seismograph. Its pretty cool how they discovered the compass. They made this magnetism that pointed south and they thought it was done, they thought they discovered the compass. Later on they discovered a thing called a lodestone. A lodestone is another magnetism which instead of pointing south it points north. So scientist added in the lodestone to the compass and so they found out that the lodestone would be the way to follow when you get lost. The astronomy discovery was not that different then the compass discovery. The scientist discovered the eclipse. Everybody was confused in the beginning but the scientist explained the whole thing. They said it was when the moon rotates and meets the sun and they slowly start coming together and turning the sky black. You can only see a dark circle in the sky, that is all you can see is black. They say if you look straight at the eclipse you can get blind. The scientist discovered a fascinating comets. They discovered these comets which these scientist call ‘broom stars.’ They have been observing these comets for while.

They discovered something that we use until now. The scientist discovered a seismograph. A seismograph detects earthquakes. These seismograph can detect earthquakes from more than a mile away from were you live. So at the end the Han Dynasty made lots great invention like the compass and the broom stars and the eclipse and the seismograph. They made other great invention like rockets and gunpowder and like the five elements which are fire, earth , metal , water ,Eshore ,George and wood.
