Integrating STEM through Literature: "Those Darn Squirrels"
by Mary McGalloway
Using the book "Those Darn Squirrels" by Adam Rubin, students will design and create a bird feeder to let the birds IN and keep the squirrels OUT! Communication, collaboration, and creativity are key components to this lesson. Students will also explore how a speaker's point of view influences how events are described.
