STEP 2 - The Journey
Sailing on wooden ships, like the Mayflower, all the way across the Atlantic ocean, took many months. In modern time, taking a non-stop flight from Los Angeles, California to London, England takes about 15 hours. The journey in the Mayflower from Southampton to Plymouth took 165 days.
•Approximately how many weeks in 165 days?
•How many Months?
•How many hours?
•How many meals would the passengers consume assuming they eat three meals a day?
•How many more hours did the Pilgrims spend sailing than it takes for a modern traveler to fly from Los Angeles, California to London, England?
•How did the travelers navigate across the ocean with out the aid of modern technology? What prevented them from getting lost?

STEP 3 - The Travelers
In order to keep all of the passengers alive while on the long journey, many provisions had to be stored on board the ship. The Pilgrims also had to think about what things they would need in the New World to survive.
Write a list of all of the provisions you think the 102 Pilgrims needed to take with them on the long voyage across the ocean. Remember, they had to eat and survive in what could possibly be an unfriendly environment.
