Hand In Hand

On our Fourth trip to Maine Maritime Museum, we learn about how important hand are to a sailor.

Bryan is showing us body parts and we are trying to guess where they came from. This x-ray shows a whale flipper.

Bryan is showing more x-rays and this one is a dog paw.

Bryan showed us different flotation devices.Stephine and some of her friend are wearing flotation devices.The problem is they don't float very long and your head can go under water. You can slip out of them if you were not very careful putting them on. A person needs to be rescued more quickly. The man at the museum said they aren't very safe.

Our classmates are wearing life jackets. They are safer because they float longer. Your head doesn't go under water. This life jacket is safer because it has more straps that help it stay on better. Life jackets don't go under the water

A girl in our classroom is showing us the reflectors that you can see at night on a life jacket.The square patches on the back and front help rescuers see the people. It is easier for rescuers to find them because they glow.

A lot of classmates tried to open a jar without using their thumbs. We could only use four fingers. People have thumbs. Our thumbs let us do more things than other creatures.

Bryan is showing us a flare gun and how to use it. First undo the safety. Then follow the important rules. Point the gun straight into the air. Then pull the trigger. The flare is a light that is shot up on the air. It lasts for 15 seconds. Bryan had to get an O.K. from the police before he shot the gun. That way they would know no one needed to be rescued.

A friend of ours is making a Sailor's Valentine. He is using shell and gluing them together.

He is putting the shells on a piece of wood is shaped like a heart.

Now our friend is finished with theValentine.

These are almost all the Valentine's that our class made.

Sailors made them because they liked to do arts and crafts because it was fun. When they go back home they gave them to their loved ones.
