Watch the video giving us a look inside the SS Great Britain. Write down words during the film or after it has finished, about what you could see and how it made you feel. Imagine you were a passenger on board. Do you think it would have been fun? If you want to you could see whether you can find any more words or information for your list from the fact sheet. Watch the clips about being a child on board and how to keep healthy. Complete the sheet.

Design and label a Rat Trap!
LO: To add clear labels or captions to a diagram
Use the sheet to work like an engineer and use squared paper for your design. They had a huge problem with rats on board the ship. Did you spot one on the videos? Will you trap and keep the rat trapped until it can be released when you get back to shore? How will you get the rat to come to your trap? What would it be made from? Where would you put it on the ship? Why? Some of the research you did about bridges might come in handy and the mechanisms.
