As a newly elected Member of Parliament (MP)
in 1832 England, you have been asked to take your place among other MPs
in analyzing the effects of what some people are referring to as an "Industrial
Revolution." As with most revolutions, it has helped some people and harmed
others. You are working for the benefit of all England within the context
of your party affiliation in these Parliamentary Debates.

The Titanic

~edtech/webquest/
titanic.html
One of today's hottest topics is the discussion
of "The Titanic" - the movie - and its stars. But what do you know about
the REAL Titanic? its passengers? its crew? This webquest will help you
and an assigned partner to explore these topics and look at them from a
mathematical perspective. In the process, you will find not only interesting
facts and dramatic stories, but also numerous statistics related to the
event. The statistics tell stories of their own. It will be your job to
discover some of these stories and share your results. This is a fascinating
way to see the interdisciplinary connections between the social sciences
and mathematics but you do need to have knowledge of spreadsheets to do
this activity.
