In this Roman history instructional activity, students read an excerpt about Roman sea Power. Then they use the information from the story to respond to four short answer questions. In addition, students imagine that they are a Roman...

Students list and describe the purpose/function of blood vessels (arteries, veins and capillaries). They explain how blood flows through the body, and the role of physical activity and how it strengthens the heart.

Students research and discuss the social ritual of drinking chocolate in viceregal Mexico. They explain its cultural and historical and geographical roots. Students create their own "drinking" vessel from papier-mache. They experiment...

Students research the development and implementation of a research vessel/vehicle used for deep ocean exploration. In this oceanography lesson plan, students calculate the density of objects by determining the mass and volume.

Students will use modern International Marine Code Flags to create representations of their names. They will use the inspiration of the sailing vessels to name and create a coat of arms for their ship.

Students extend the colors, shapes, textures and lines of an unknown composition to create perspective in their drawings. Using oil pastels, they work in pairs to create a long continuous artwork of imagery inspired by sailing vessels...
