This lesson is a team survival game that can be played over a number of sessions and challenges students to overcome a series of tasks, experiments and contests to escape ‘the island’. Students collect points for each challenge completed successfully and the team with the most points wins the contest.
Every survival technique is based on scientific fact and practical application. The idea of going back to the wild and surviving excites and enthuses students, encouraging them to apply their scientific knowledge and understanding to get the most out of the great outdoors this summer.
