Hypothermia
In mr.somers class we have watched How to build a fire. So after watching it I have been really curious about hypothermia so I decided to do some research. The reason I chose hypothermia is because in How to build a fire this man was stuck in freezing cold whether and it was only him and his dog and he had a long way till he cold reach a town.
When I started my research I got three questions that I wanted to know. They were all based around hypothermia and the side affects
