What can one event reveal when we look at it together?

Remembering Titanic brings science and history into conversation through an event with deep connections to Southampton. Teachers, museum educators and researchers worked together to develop a cross-curricular unit for Key Stage 3.

The project connects classroom enquiry with museum learning, local stories and sensitive approaches to teaching disaster.
