As part of the Interdisciplinary Unit “Where We Are in Place and Time,” students in the “Sea Bass” section had an opportunity to speak via Microsoft Teams with a parent-naval engineer who was located at a naval shipyard in China.  Our students practiced social and thinking skills as they inquired about how ships are designed and constructed. The parent-naval engineer then gave them a tour of a ship and of the shipyard and with the use of appropriate audiovisual materials succeeded in answering all of their queries.

Their questions were numerous (How is a ship painted? How long does it take to construct a ship? How difficult is the job of a naval engineer?)  It was indeed a unique experience for all of us!!!

We thank him very much!
