Survival

You are stranded on a raft with matches and some supplies, what's the most important:

My Choices
#1: A 25 liter container of water, a person can only go 3 days without water which makes it very important
#2: A 10 liter can of oil/ petrol mixture, you can start a fire with the oil and matches
#3: A fishing kit, able to catch food from sea

My Group's Choices
#1: A 25 liter container of water
#2: A case of army rations, needed as food
#3: A fishing kit

Coast Guards' Choices
#1: A shaving mirror, to signal using reflections
#2: A 10 liter can of oil/ petrol mixture
#3: A 25 liter container of water

This was a critical thinking and problem solving activity that used communication and arguments to decide what to survive with. I enjoyed this project but it was a "life or death" situation and we worked in groups.
