Titanic
Bundle Pack
Thank you for your purchase!
I am always sure to tell people that I have had a fascination with the Titanic long before
“The Movie” came out. My fascination was further fed when I had the opportunity to design
my own summer school enrichment class centered on the Titanic. The materials in this bundle
are all a result of that class and have all been tried and tested with great success. I posted
the Titanic tickets on a whim, and I would have never imagined the success I had selling
them! If you have any questions about using these materials, please do not hesitate to
contact me at [email protected] . I am always happy to talk Titanic!

These are FANTASTIC resources for teaching the Titanic!
History.com Titanic Interac1ve h#p://www.history.com/interac4ves/4tanic-‐interac4ve Explore the Titanic like you never have before, with interac4ve features about its construc4on, its ill-‐fated maiden voyage and the survivors who lived to tell the tale. Encyclopedia Titanica h8p://www.encyclopedia-‐1tanica.org/1tanic-‐biographies/ This has extensive biographies of the vast majority of people who were on the Titanic, both vic4ms and survivors. I use this site with my students and their Titanic Passenger Tickets! Titanic in the Classroom h8p://connec1ons.smsd.org/1tanic/ I love this website and what this teacher has done with teaching the Titanic! When I ﬁrst began teaching about the Titanic, a lot of my ideas originated from ac4vi4es she did with students. Make sure you check out the “Science Connec4ons” and “Curriculum” tabs on the leL. Titanic Poem h#p://www.4tanicgiLs.com/Picture-‐Framed-‐Poem.html I consider this to be a very original, perhaps “epic” poem about the Titanic. Be sure to turn your volume up—the author reads the poem with vigor and expression! My students are always intrigued by this. Titanic Web Resources 2
Scholas1c Titanic Newspaper Assignment h#p://www.scholas4c.com/teachers/lesson-‐plan/extra-‐extra-‐4tanic-‐sinks My students always enjoy this assignment to write a newspaper ar4cle about the Titanic. At the beginning of this, I always have students research original Titanic ar4cles to get some background. Titanic Mock Trial h8p://www.andersonkill.com/1tanic/home.htm This usually takes some adjus4ng, but it’s a great mock trial that discusses the aLermath of the sinking of the Titanic! Weak Rivets Ar1cle h8p://www.ny1mes.com/2008/04/15/science/151tanic.html?_r=1 Something that is so oLen overlooked when discussing the sinking of the Titanic is the weak rivets and how they may have contributed to its sinking. Use this ar4cle with the Weak Rivets experiment on the next website. **Titanic Learning Center h#p://www.rms4tanic.net/learning-‐center/4tanic-‐in-‐the-‐classroom.html By far my favorite website. The lessons are innumerable. Go to “Lesson Plans” and be prepared to spend hours! White Star Line

Titanic
Quiz ANSWER KEY
1.
The president of the White Star Line was on Titanic’s first and only voyage. What was his name, and what happened
to him when the ship sank?
Bruce Ismay was the president of White Star Line. Ismay got on one of the last lifeboats, and
he was shunned by many for almost the rest of his life for saving himself.
2. What does R..M.S. stand for? What does this tell you about the Titanic?
Royal Mail Ship/Steamer. The Titanic was primarily a mail ship and it was an added luxury to
make it a passenger liner.
3. Who was the captain of the ship? What happened to him when the ship sank?
Edward J. Smith was the captain of the ship. He died when she ship sank. It was to be his final voyage.
4. Why did some people believe the Titanic was unsinkable?
Some people decided to believe the Titanic was unsinkable because it had watertight
compartments that would prevent it from sinking. It was also made with a double steel hull. It
was never advertised by the White Star Line as unsinkable.
5. Who was Margaret Brown, also known as “the unsinkable Molly Brown,” and why did she become famous?
Molly Brown was on Lifeboat Number 6 and survived the sinking. She became famous because
she convinced the people on the lifeboat to go back and look for survivors.
6. Who discovered the wreck site and when?
Robert Ballard discovered the wreck of the Titanic in 1985. It is approximately 1,250 miles away from its destination,
New York City.
7. What ocean did the Titanic sink in?
The Titanic sunk in the north Atlantic Ocean.
8. Why did the Titanic hit the iceberg sideways instead of head-on?
The engines were ordered to be reversed, slowing down the speed, while it was ordered to be turned away from the
iceberg. The combination of slow speed and turning caused it to hit sideways. (Some believe that if the engines weren’t
reversed, it may have cleared the iceberg).
9. How would the fate of the Titanic be different if it would have hit the iceberg head-on?
Many speculate that if it had hit head on, only a few of the watertight compartments would have been filled, and the
Titanic would have stayed afloat long enough to either make it to New York or have another ship rescue its passengers.
10. Why didn’t the lookout officers see the iceberg until it was very close to the ship?
It was a very clear night with no moon and they had not been able to find their binoculars.
11. How long did it take the Titanic to sink between the time it hit the iceberg and the time it disappeared from view?
The Titanic hit the iceberg at 11:40, and it sank by 2:20.
12. What was the name of the ship that picked up survivors in lifeboats?
The Carpathia.
13. How deep is the ocean at the site of Titanic’s wreckage?
Approximately 2.5 miles.
14. What was the name of the ship that tried to warn the Titanic of the icebergs, and later ignored their distress calls?
The Californian.
