Our class celebrated "Talk Like a Pirate Day" on Friday, since the official day is on a Sunday this year. Our morning work, reading, science, and math was directly tied to a pirate theme, including the way we spoke in class. The highlight of the day involved students learning why boats float, especially if loaded with "booty" such as gold. Students created boats from aluminum and placed "booty" (glass beads) in their boat until it sunk. After learning about the concepts of surface area, density, displacement, and buoyancy, they created another vessel which held more.
