Series: Pirate science activities

Pirate science activities give a learning anchor to so much content! Here’s a harbor for ye to try six pirate science experiments that promote learning in many science topics . pirate-series-bar

Teaching with a theme works well with organizing science lessons into stations. When you don’t have enough resources for every group of children to do the same lab, stations can be the solution. Using stations is also a great differentiation technique. See Part 1 for my tips for organizing station labs.

Pirate science activities

  1. Invisible ink: acid/base
  2. Make your own compass: magnetism
  3. Foil boats: buoyancy
  4. Saltwater to freshwater: solutions, evaporation

  6. Make a telescope: optics

    Pirate science activities are a great way to teach with a theme. A compass science project is part of science ideas for a pirate theme.
    Teaching science with a pirate theme includes foil boats as a natural topic to introduce density and buoyancy with aluminum foil boat design.

    Map making introduces scale and scaling, latitude and longitude, and time and is a natural topic in teaching science with a pirate theme.
    Make a telescope to introduce optics, light, and lenses and is a natural topic in teaching science with a pirate theme.

Me mateys Kelly and Jen love swashbucklers as much as I do. This is a series of science ideas for pirate theme we put together. Here’s some of our pirate inspiration: Treasure Island, Peter Pan, Pirates of Penzance, Pirates of the Carribean, The Pirate Queen, and Jake and the Neverland Pirates.

In North Carolina, Blackbeard be “our” pirate (other states claim the lad, too!) Along with science, you can tie pirates to social studies. Other famous pirates: Barbarossa, Thomas Cavendish, Sir Francis Drake, Charlotte de Berry, Sir Henry Morgan, Black Bart, Stede Bonnet, Captain Kidd, Anne Bonny, Mary Read, Jean Lafitte, and Grace O’Malley.
