Outdoor Education 10: Part A

Sustainable Survival Unit

In this section of the Outdoor Education 10 class we will be learning through discussion and research the
fundamentals of and protocols that are useful to survive in the wilderness.

Students will create a HANDMADE SURVIVAL BOOK containing key factors, important skills and
fundamental elements regarding outdoor survival to gain further knowledge of the Outdoor Education
curriculum.

With this knowledge, students will then critically think about how to, and then create a PERSONAL
OUTDOOR SURVIVAL KIT that could be used in an outdoor emergency situation.

The effort and thought put into these two components will then be displayed, along with your prototype
from Part B in the OUTDOOR ED MAKER FAIR at the end of this unit.
