Not a Stick!
by Kristen Mezulis
Students will participate in an engineering challenge or STEM activity that connects to a read aloud. They will be able to ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change and define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.
In this lesson, students will activate their imagination as they observe all the things that the pig imagines his stick to be.
