A. Make a list of different types of boats. Collect pictures and information about the listed types of boats. Make a presentation to depict the differences among them.
Answer:
Types of boats (sample):
Rowboat
A rowboat is a small, manually propelled boat typically used for recreation or trans-portation on calm waters. It relies on oars for movement and is often made of wood, fiberglass, or other lightweight materials. Rowboats are designed for one or two people and are frequently found on lakes, rivers, and calm coastal areas.
Sailboat
A sailboat is a boat that uses sails to harness the power of the wind for propulsion. They range in size from small dinghies to large yachts and are used for both recreational and competitive sailing. Sailboats typically have a hull, a mast, and sails (like the mainsail, jib, and spinnaker), and are steered using a helm.
Canoe
A canoe is a lightweight, narrow boat typically pointed at both ends and propelled by paddles. It’s a versatile vessel used for recreation, fishing, and transporta-tion, often found on lakes and rivers. Ca-noes can be made from various materials like wood, aluminum, or fiberglass.
Motorboat
A motorboat is a boat propelled by an engine, typically an internal combustion engine or electric motor. They range in size from small, recreational craft to larger vessels used for various purposes, including racing, fishing, and cruising. Motorboats are also commonly referred to as powerboats or speedboats.
Ferry
A ferry is a boat or ship that transports passengers and often vehicles across a body of water, typically on a regular, scheduled route. They are commonly used to connect islands to the main land or provide transportation across rivers and lakes. Ferries can range from small boats to large vessels capable of carrying hundreds of passengers and vehicles.
Houseboat
A house-boat is essentially a boat designed or adapted for use as a home, offering living spaces and amenities like a regular house. They can be stationary or motorized, and are found on lakes, rivers, and canals. House boats offer a unique living experience on the water, and can range from simple, rustic
structures to luxurious, floating hotels.
Yacht
A Yacht is a recreational boat, typically larger and more luxurious than a standard boat, designed for pleasure cruising, racing, or extended trips. Yachts usually have accommodations for overnight stays and are often equipped with amenities like cabins, galleys, and entertainment systems.
Catamaram
A Catamaran is a type of boat or ship characterized by its twin- hull design, featuring two parallel hulls of equal size. This design offers several advantages, including increased stability, reduced heeling (tilting), and enhanced speed compared to traditional monohull boats. Catamarans are popular
for both recreational sailing and commercial purposes like ferries.
B. Split the class into two groups. One group can talk about human-made things like ships and bridges. While the other discusses natural things like clouds and rainbows. Let them share their thoughts!
Answer:
Group discussion

Isaac Newton created a spinning disc painted with the seven colours of the rainbow to show that white light is actually made of many colours! When the disc spins very fast, your eyes see white instead of all the colours.
