Those Darn Squirrels
by Amy Dries
Students start by listening to "Those Darn Squirrels", by Adam Rubin. Instead of helping the birds, the students will explore the technology and the engineering design process to help those pesky squirrels. Students will build the habit of a systems thinker by considering an issue fully while they complete their engineering journal and project.
