In science and math we made aluminum "vessels" using 36 square inches of foil and tried to hold the most "booty" (glass beads). While doing so, students learned concepts of buoyancy, displacement, surface area, and density.

Aye Matey!
With "International Talk Like a Pirate Day" having arrived on September 19th, we took the idea of pirates and incorporated it into our classroom this week. We wrote knowledgeably on the subject by reading two books on the historical aspects of pirates and then analyzed recent graphs on piracy around the world today. Students integrated the information from all three to write a persuasive essay encouraging a pirate today to take on another profession.
