Science Survivor

Middle schoolers get creative when you ask them how to survive. In science class we were posed the question:

What would you do if you were lost in the woods and needed to get warm?

These were our answers:

• Eat something so digestion warms you up (it is a science class after all and we did just study the digestive system.)

• Do jumping jacks or other exercise to warm yourself up.

• Put on blanket (possible if you happened to carry around a blanket.)

• Build a fire (hope you brought matches.)

Next are my two favorite and most hilarious ways our class thought we could survive.

• Build an igloo (sure if you went hiking when it was snowing.)

Last but not least:

• Kill a bear and use it's skin/fur for warmth (really - how would you pull this off?)

This just teaches you - don't count on our science class to help you survive in the woods.
