Students will learn about Molly Brown's life and voyage on the Titanic through a read-aloud and discussion. They will then work in pairs to create boats out of tinfoil. Students will be challenged to build a boat that will not only float but will also hold weight (pennies, which can be thought of as passengers!). Once all boats have been tested, the amount of pennies held by each boat will be used to create a bar graph for students to analyze.

Install Google Earth on the students' computers, and then show the students how to use the flight simulator ... even young children can master this because it's fun ... to "fly over" [and around] specific sites to look at the geographic detail and how the particular cities/towns and villages are configured amongst the natural environs. They can begin at pretty good altitude, then swoop down, and bank for a little bit of excitement in between mountains, following rivers, banking 360 degrees around lakes, etc. Have them find important landmarks mentioned in the textbook by flying and actually trying to pinpoint them from the cockpit ... again, exciting. Google Earth and the flight simulator can be structured around adventure and exploration that would relate to social studies, history, and geography lesson plans ... and again, the flying aspects would be fun and exciting for the students.
