1. Second Level Technology Launching Titanic November 2016

2. Launch Technology
Research the launch of Titanic and recreate the launch ticket
slipway friction experiment
Buoyancy Experiments
create a power point presentation of our
Launch Technology work

3. Titanic Design and Launch1
Significant Aspect of Learning
Investigate and experiment with the features and functions of computer technology that support and enhance learning, at home and in the workplace.

4. ICT to enhance learning
As I extend and enhance my knowledge of features of various types of software, including those which help find, organise, manage and access information, I can apply what I learn in different situations. TCH 2-03a
I explore and experiment with the features and functions of computer technology and I can use what I learn to support and enhance my learning in different contexts. TCH 2-04a

5. Using the internet research the launch of the Titanic

8. 2) Slipway Friction Experiment
Significant Aspect of Learning
Engineer simple 3D objects which demonstrate strengthening, energy transfer and movement.
Estimate and measure using a range of instruments and units.

9. Craft, design, engineering and graphics contexts for developing technological skills and knowledge
By applying my knowledge and skills of science and mathematics, I can engineer 3D objects which demonstrate strengthening, energy transfer and movement. TCH 2-12a
During practical activities and design challenges, I can estimate and measure using appropriate instruments and units. TCH 2-13a

10. Friction Experiment To launch the Titanic we added soapy water to our slipway to reduce friction. In the actual launch soap and tallow were used.

11. We launched our Titanic on a wet all weather pitch.

12. Free Surface Effect Experiment
Water/liquids have their own momentum when the container/vessel they are in is moved. It can make it very difficult to move and unstable.

13. Craft, design, engineering and graphics contexts for developing technological skills and knowledge
By applying my knowledge and skills of science and mathematics, I can engineer 3D objects which demonstrate strengthening, energy transfer and movement. TCH 2-12a

14. It was hard to move because since the water has it’s own momentum, it pushed to one side then pulled back to the other side.

15. We divided it in half, it made it easier to carry but it still had quite a lot of pull.

16. We divided it into three compartments, you had more control.

18. 3) Buoyancy Experiments

20. We tested five objects for buoyancy by attempting to float them with and without a 1kg weight on top.

21. We measured how far up the hull the water reached
We measured how far up the hull the water reached. This is called the trim.

22. We made predictions on how many bulkheads we could flood before our model sank.
