My friend Hanna and I went around London for 2 days trying to find 12 landmarks that have to do with medicine and health. It was partly to educate us and fill us with relevant knowledge for our next topic which is Medicine and Health but it was also partly to exhaust us mentally and physically.
Education broadens the mind, but walking hurts. Ouch. Watch and enjoy to make our pain seem worth while and if you feel like completing the challenge, go ahead!
Here is the info.
Medical Landmarks in London History Twelve Point Challenge
• Get yourself a travel card and learn while visiting historical sites in London!
• Go with some friends
• or go with your family!
• History revision will never be more fun!
• Do some research on the internet to decide a route and then visit some of these landmarks - visit one or visit them all!
• Provide photographic evidence of your visit to each of the sites.
• You could even make a movie and post it on Youtube.
• One landmark = one house point - but you must have photographic proof of your presence!
• Bonus house point for the answer to "Where in Central London can you find a picture of the Dark Lady in Red who helped solve the mystery of a strand?"
