How did the Titanic sink? It was build with 16 water tight compartments and even had double bottoms! But it did weigh over 46 tons, so that's definitely one reason! While learning all these incredible facts about the Titanic, students were assigned to build their own unsinkable boat and test it out using marbles as passengers. How many marbles could they hold before sinking? See some of these fabulous designs below:

The winning boat pictured left....It held all the marbles I had...Over 200!! I believe she set a record
as the most passengers/marbles ever in my 6 years teaching this lesson! Future builder? Maybe....;) |
