For New Hampshire’s April school vacation week, when none of us is actually going anywhere, we decided to focus on things we could do if we did have some sort of wild vacation adventure and ended up on a deserted island.

On Tuesday, we learned how to use the sun’s energy to cook our lunch. Today, we’ll see how we can use to sun to make water drinkable. Note that since we aren’t actually on a deserted island surrounded be sea water, we need to make our own for this activity. Use of a stove is needed to boil water—please use adult supervision for this!

For New Hampshire’s April school vacation week, when none of us is actually going anywhere, we decided to focus on things we could do if we did have some sort of wild vacation adventure and ended up on a deserted island- how could we problem-solve our way through being stranded and get back home again?

The week has been rainy, but that didn’t stop us for going outside and getting in touch with nature! This activity is great for getting outside and active during the stay-at-home orders across the country, without breaking any rules! For this activity you will need a notebook and a pencil to jot down all of your findings on your nature walk. (If you do not live near nature trails, try going for a walk around your neighborhood, or in a local park.) Bring along a camera if you want to take photos of your finding. If you parents have a camera phone, see if they can take it along for your nature walk.
