Was Robert Falcon Scott brave?

We have learned about many famous explorers. One of them was Captain Robert Falcon Scott, a British explorer whose aim was to be the first person to reach the South Pole. Unfortunately, this expedition was to be his last.

Do you think he and his team were brave? Talk to your talking partner.

We know from reading our story, The Great Explorer, that you need to be prepared when you set off on an expedition. Many people believe Scott and his team were ill-prepared. Let's watch a video to find out more.

What do you think of Scott now? Are your impressions still the same? Again, talk with your partner about whether you think they were brave. If your opinion has changed, say why.

Now let's watch a video with actual footage of the Terra Nova leaving for Antarctica.
