 * Main Ideas or Questions you have about survival in the Canadian Wilderness (one in each box) || What I Already Know … [about this Idea or Question] || What I Want to Know… [about this Idea or Question] || What I learned-Post in your notes and sources ||
 * 1. What is the pattern of weather in the Canadian Wilderness and how can it effect survival. || · The temperatures are frigid and snowy. · It can be very sunny which can cause severe sun burn without protection. || · What is the average temperature in the winter and summer? · Does Canada get extreme weather such as snow storms, tornados, etc? · Are their four seasons similar than in NJ. · How often does it rain in Canada? || · In the winter the temperatures are usually 5 degrees F and in the summer the average is 77 to 86 degrees F. · Canada has earthquakes, tornados, blizzards, ice storms, and experience 20-70 hours of freezing rain per year. · Canada has all the seasons with colder winters and shorter summers. · Canada’s average rainfall is 52cm per year. April is when it starts to rain then in October it is snowing again. ||
 * 2. What are 5 basic steps about surviving in the Canadian wilderness and what would happen if I don’t do them? || · Must have some type of shelter. · Must have clean water. Must have a food supply. · Some sort of defensive gear. · You need fire. · You need clothes. || · What are the edible plants that we can eat? · How can I purify lake water so it’s safe to drink? · How do you start a fire with no matches or a lighter? · How do you hunt an animal? || · The edible plants in the Canadian wilderness are blue berries, Saskatoon, buffalo berries, Golden currents, and the Prairie turnip. · To purify lake water you can build a filter or boil the water. · To make a fire you can use a Cottonwood, juniper, aspen, willow, cedar, cypress, or walnut stick to make a spindle (a stick that you spin) and a fire board (a flat board that you spin the spindle on) and create friction until you get an ember. Then, lightly blow the ember until you have a fire. · ||
