Tragedies like this occur because of the ‘othering’ our politicians insist on – of the dehumanising of sons and fathers, mothers and daughters, friends and family members.” We had so much fun designing this Simple STEM challenge for young learners. The concept is sink or float. The inspiration for this Simple STEM Challenge was from “Who Sank the Boat?” written by Pamela Allen. The book was originally published in 1982.

Those on Carpathia were startled by the scene that greeted them as the sun rose: "fields of ice on which, like points on the landscape, rested innumerable pyramids of ice." [208] Captain Arthur Rostron of Carpathia saw ice all around, including 20large bergs measuring up to 200 feet (61m) high and numerous smaller bergs, as well as ice floes and debris from Titanic. [208] It appeared to Carpathia 's passengers that their ship was in the middle of a vast white plain of ice, studded with icebergs appearing like hills in the distance. [209]

Eyewitnesses saw Titanic 's stern rising high into the air as the ship tilted down in the water. It was said to have reached an angle of 30–45degrees, [172] "revolving apparently around a centre of gravity just astern of midships", as Lawrence Beesley later put it. [173] Many survivors described a great noise, which some attributed to the boilers exploding. [174] Beesley described it as "partly a groan, partly a rattle, and partly a smash, and it was not a sudden roar as an explosion would be: it went on successively for some seconds, possibly fifteen to twenty". He attributed it to "the engines and machinery coming loose from their bolts and bearings, and falling through the compartments, smashing everything in their way".
