HMS OARDACIOUS CHALLENGE
The Atlantic Challenge sees the crew of HMS Oardacious join about 30 other teams traversing the 3,000 miles of the North Atlantic from the Canary Island of La Gomera to the Caribbean idyll of Antigua. Each team member is expected to drink approximately 10 litres of water a day to maintain their high energy output and with nothing but undrinkable sea water to hand, they create their own drinking water using Reverse Osmosis.
In this lesson, your learners aged 10 - 14 will understand the importance of clean water and discover a range of methods that can be used to achieve it, including the process and equipment used for the task throughout the challenge.
You can:
Working in small groups, your learners will share and discuss ideas, work on tasks and apply knowledge learned on osmosis in science classes.
For your learners to work together in small groups to carry out water filtration exercise to highlight the importance of clean water and how it can be achieved compared to the equipment used in HMS Oardacious.
