Torpedo

Kody enjoys activities that involve water, he likes to splash, make bubbles, pour water into containers and then tip it out as fast as he can. Kody also puts his toys in the bath just to see what happens to them. Kody enjoys swimming, and likes to jump into the pool and make the biggest splash possible. Kody is a confident swimmer who is now exploring other things that he can do while swimming, such as, floating on his noodle, holding his breath, doing back flips, blowing bubbles and recently Kody has started using torpedo rockets. They are multi-coloured, about 15cm in length and are heavy at one end. The torpedo rockets glide through the water and then will sink to the bottom of the pool. With the use of these torpedoes Kody will now take a big breath and dive down to retrieve them. With lots of practice Kody is now able to collect more than one at a time and is confident enough to retrieve them from the deep end of the pool. Kody is confused as to why the small torpedo rockets sink, but his noodle which is much bigger floats. At the beginning of this activity Kody is aware that his torpedoes sink, and his noodle floats. His prior skills and knowledge of what happens in the swimming pool and the exploring that he does with his toys in the bath. Kody shows that he wants to extend his learning and understanding of how different objects perform when placed in water. Curriculum links AC Science/Year 2/Science understanding/physical sciences.

He created the submarine, an underwater vessel. He invented the torpedo for naval warfare to be successful under water and discreetly done. Fulton in his early life had no interest in naval warfare. This is seen when Hartenberg says, “Naval matters played no role in the first phase of Robert Fulton’s life” (Hartenberg 4), showing that he did not have any past experience with naval affairs before his canal engineering career. Together naval warfare is what Robert Fulton truly impacted on society…
