Welcome

Jacob's Baltimore Home Page!
Hi, I'm Jacob and I'm in sixth grade at The Park
School of Baltimore, Maryland.
We are studying Baltimore in
three classes; science, language arts/ social studies and technology. We
first started learning about Baltimore in LA/SS when we started to read
the autobiography 'The Narrative of Frederick Douglass '.
We then started reading a lot of books with information on Baltimore. We
also used the Internet. We all studied different things for our LA/SS project.
I did mine on the Dove and the Ark, two boats that came from Ireland to
Maryland. On these boats were a lot of passengers and the trip was six weeks
long. In science we took water samples from a creek called Moore's Branch
Creek. From that we made graphs to see whether the creek was healthy. We
did tests to find the water and air temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, how
turbid the water is and the number of macro invertebrates.
