A "Hatchet" STEM Project: Recreating Brian's Bow and Arrow
by Lisa Boyer
In this lesson, students focus on the engineering design process to help them design, build, and test a functional bow and arrow system like the character Brian Robeson in the book "Hatchet". Students work in groups during this project, present their final design and reflect on their learning.
