TARGET AUDIENCE
This instructional activity is to be used for students in grades 6th through 12th grade. I wanted to make my activity available to a wide range of students
Some material is inappropriate for students of a younger age, and that is why it should be taken by students of an older age
LEARNER DESCRIPTION
The students have already studied the Titanic and as a result share similar knowledge of the topic They have also studied how technology can impact peoples lives
This is key to relating the Titanic and internet access
All of the children share equal capabilities and have an equal understanding of what is asked of them
LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
The students will have access to a computer and the teacher will be able to share his/her knowledge with the students The teacher is to serve as more of a guide and let the students do their own work at their own pace
The Teacher will be able to answer any questions the students may have
OBJECTIVES
Given a computer with an instructional activity on the Titanic, the student must answer questions with 100% accuracy to ensure his/her understanding of the Titanic. Given a computer with an instructional activity on the Titanic, the student should be able to understand how to survive a sinking ship and relate it back to the Titanic.

GOOD JOB!
This image is of a 1st Class passenger parlour suite. Only 1st class passengers could afford it, but many felt it was worth it, as the rooms were wide and spacious.
Next
CORRECT!
The 2nd class passengers worked hard and were able to get decent rooms. Think about it: if internet access was available on the ship, do you think the passengers could have obtained cheaper ticket? Do you think this would have had an impact on the number of lives lost?
Next
INCORRECT!
Remember: 2nd class passengers were mildly wealthy due to their middle-class jobs.
While they had it better than the 3rd Class passengers, they were no where near
Back
THATS CORRECT!
Although some of the 3rd class rooms were similar to 2nd class rooms, most were meant to accommodate up to 4 people. Since the rooms were located at the bottom of the ship, they were often smaller and much more cramped. ~~Think about it: what if 3rd class passengers were able to contact their loved ones before the ship went down? Do you
Back
CORRECT!
Captain Edward Smith had his own private room to stay in with his very own dining table. Although it was not the biggest of rooms, it was a comfortable size for the Captain.
~~Think about it: How could the internet have allowed the Captain to make better judgment when sailing the Titanic.
Next
Back
CORRECT!!
The crew lived at the very lowest part of the ship below everyone else. Not only did they have the worst rooms, but also were located the farthest away from the surface.
~~Think about it: Could the crew have used the internet to better organize their blueprints for the machinery?
Next
WHOOPSWRONG ANSWER!
Remember that the crew lived in small rooms crammed with their fellow workers. They worked hard to satisfy the passengers.

At the time of its creation, the Titanic was marveled for being the largest ship ever built. It was deemed unsinkable. However, this was not the case due to several design flaws. Learn about the parts of the ship as well as the flaws that accompanied them.

such damage.

THE PROPELLERS
The weight of the 3 large propellers put stress on the midsection of the ship as it rose out of the water. At an angle greater than 45 degrees, stresses in the midsection exceeded the ultimate stresses of the steel and the steel failed.
Back
Next
WATERTIGHT COMPARTMENTS
The brittle facture in the hull caused 6 of the 16 watertight compartments to flood. By midnight, water in the damaged compartments spread from one compartment to the other because the compartments were only horizontal. A little after 1:00, water began flooding through anchor-chain holes, eventually submerging the bow and raising the propellers out of the water.

LIFEBOATS
Although the Titanic could hold 48 lifeboats, it only carried 20. Each boat could hold 65 people and contained oars, blankets, provisions, and flares. Life lines were placed around the boat along with sails, anchors, and covers. They also contained a compass and water beaker.

Now that youve learned about the parts of the ship, lets talk about a very serious matter.
The Titanic suffered a terrible fate and whats worse is that the people on board didnt know what to do when the ship went down. Well, perhaps you could change that fate. The internet can be useful for looking up all kinds of information, even how to survive a sinking ship! Lets take a look at what the internet has to offermaybe you could apply it to the Titanic and how some of the simplest measures could have saved more lives.

QUESTION 1
The Titanic had 48 lifeboats on board and at the time of its sinking?
TRUE
FALSE
THATS CORRECT!
With only 20 lifeboats on board, the Titanic lost more lives than if it would have had all 48 lifeboats on board. 20 lifeboats was only enough to save about half the people on ship.
Next

QUESTION 2
How many watertight compartments worked when the Titanic began to fill with water from striking the iceberg?
16
10
SORRYTRY AGAIN.
While 16 watertight compartments were built within the Titanic, 6 of them were damaged, leaving only 10 of the 16 in working condition.
Back
VERY GOOD!
10 out of the 16 watertight compartments worked, as 6 were damaged due to cold water temperature, high sulfur content, and the huge impact of the ship into the iceberg.

FINAL QUESTION
3rd class passengers were the richest and most wealthy and thus could afford the most luxurious rooms.
TRUE
FALSE
EXCELLENT!
3rd class passengers were the poorest of travelers and were often immigrants trying to start a new life in America. They gave up everything just to be able to board the ship of dreams.
