The purpose of this guide is to explore the story of Titanic primarily from the scientific point of view. The emphasis is on hands-on investigation for students. How could 66,000 tons of steel float in the first place? How could an iceberg sink the “practically unsinkable”? What modern scientific techniques can answer these and other questions? This guide features lessons and activities for a range of grade levels.
