Project Survive! Specifications

Project Survive!

***We will present this project for exhibition*** This is the text from handouts I gave in class today. Next Tuesday is the field trip to Crown Point (or La Jolla/Del Mar).***

Handout:

“Our academic focus will be on the response of the human body to trauma and medical treatment.

Our practical focus will be how to………………………SURVIVE!”

What if I am lost at sea and have no fresh water to drink? What if I am bit by a tiger? What if I stub my toe really, really bad? What if my little brother has an asthma attack and I am the only one around to help?


Project Survive! will allow participants to learn about first aid, medical treatment and human survival by experiencing real-life scenarios that could happen to anyone
