A Hatchet STEM Project: Flight of Survival - Paper Airplane STEM Challenge
"Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen is a novel about a young boy named Brian Robeson who is stranded in the Canadian wilderness after a plane crash. While the book doesn't explicitly teach STEM principles, it offers various opportunities to discuss and explore these principles, especially those related to flight, design, and engineering. Students will learn more about flight and then create their own paper airplane.
