Happy Monday Again Gang,
Please look at the reminders below so you have a heads up for tomorrow. Also, the design brief for the Bear Grylls Survival Structures is posted below. Please survey the information.
-Dress for the weather! Forecast: 30 degrees and a good chance of rain.
-Pack a cold lunch! No cold lunch = you don't eat.
-Take a pencil or pen along.
-We are walking to the FRS. DO NOT BE LATE TO SCHOOL. We will leave at 7:30 a.m.

-We will eat lunch at the FRS.
-We will return around 12:30-12:45.
-Once we get back:
1) mock election
2) STEaM. FC competitors: Sim Computers will probably NOT be available, so be prepared to work on your essay, research or city planning.

Survival Structures: Sheltering Structures
In order to survive in an outdoor environment, one must be able to use what they have access to. We will be bringing materials with us, but we must also use the materials nature provides. We will need to use our observation skills along with our skills in gathering. Think back to our buddy Bear Grylls. Remember that a survival structure must keep a person warm and dry. Warm enough to keep us from freezing or exposure. Key words: WARM, DRY, and INSULATED.  |

Design Challenge:
Design a survival structure that will keep a person warm and dry using the resources you have at your disposal. The trick with building this structure at the E.B. Shutz Nature Sanctuary is that we cannot use any living plant matter or wildlife. DUE TO THE FACT RESOURCES ARE LIMITED, PLEASE REALIZE THAT OTHER GROUPS MAY BORROW PIECES FROM YOUR STRUCTURE AS THE ROTATIONS PROCEED.

1.We will start out by taking 10-15 minutes to spread out and gather materials in nature.
2. When the timer goes off, you will then be given 5-10 minutes to brainstorm and sketch with your group.
3. The remainder of the time during this center is to get to building.
