Titanic STEM Project

Dear Parents;
Over the past few weeks we have been learning about the Titanic.  As a fourth grade we would like to end our unit with a wall sized diorama of the Titanic.  Each class has been given a section of the ship to create.  Each student will be partnered up to create a replica, the best they can, of a specific room on the ship.  

Please note this is a school project.  We will do all of the research, imagining, designing and creating at school.

As a class, I am asking for your help in gathering the supplies needed for this project.  Below you will see a picture of what we are trying to create.  If you are able to help with any of the supplies listed below please send them in with your student.  We will be assembling the project on Tuesday April 12th.  All supplies will need to be in by then.

Thank you for all of your help and support in making this class the best!

-Mrs. Stone

Supplies:12:  Rectangle Kleenex boxes.  We will cut the top off and use these for each room.

Assortment of Scrapbook paper:  The students will use this as wall paper, room decorations, and other   

  1. Assortment of Material:  The students can use this for carpet or furniture coverings.
Dollhouse type accessories:  This is where you can get creative.  We will need dollhouse size furniture for each room.  (chairs, beds, clocks, dressers, etc.)  These will be used to decorate the first and second class state rooms.  The third class rooms will need bunk beds.These can be made out of popsicle sticks, toothpicks, paper, really anything you can come up with.  We will just need a lot of them.

Anything else that your student thinks they will want to put in their diorama.
