 Environmental Science 20 | Survivor:  Time Travel Edition 

ES20-ES1

Examine the methods, mindsets and purposes of environmental science.

(a)	Reflect upon how one's connection with the environment is influenced by personal experiences and cultural understandings.
(b)	Engage in place-based learning to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the environment.

Today's assignment will be based on our two Brightwater Experiences and a belief in science fiction:

Through the miracle of Time Travel, you have been relocated to the Brightwater site in the year 1519.  As you awaken from the time travel experience, a voice says that if you stay within 10 km of this location, you will be transported back to the year 2019 in exactly 365 days.  Write a detailed story on how you will survive the next 365 days.  An assumption is that you will not come in contact with any other humans for the next 365 days.
