Survival Kit
Survival means 'remaining alive' and there are many situations that humans can find themselves in where survival isn't easy! In our modern world, we have warm homes, electric fires, food from the supermarket and plenty of running water. But what if you found yourself lost in a forest? How would you survive? To survive, humans need four main things....
- Shelter
- Warmth
- Food
- Clean Water
We need shelter and warmth to protect us from the rain and cold, and food and water to keep our bodies working properly. What would you eat in a forest? where would you find clean water? how would you make a shelter? what are the basic things that could help keep you alive?
I will give you a worksheet in class tomorrow that you will need to complete. You will be using your addition skills for the first section. You MUST show all your workings out and give reasons for your answers.
In the second section you will be using your direction and angle skills. In order to complete the task you will need to use an eight point compass. Look at the one below to refresh your memories.
Another reminder that will help is a right angle = 90 degrees and therefore half a right angle is 45 degrees.
You will discover that the maths you have learnt in school will help you survive in the wild!
