Grade Lvl:K-5

Transport students to the Arctic tundra as they learn about polar bears and the extreme conditions faced during Arctic winters. In this engaging engineering lesson, learners discover how pregnant polar bears survive harsh climates by hibernating in specially designed shelters. Students are then challenged to use marshmallows and toothpicks to build sturdy shelters that could protect a hibernating polar bear, integrating science concepts with creative problem-solving and design. The fun, hands-on construction encourages collaboration and deepens understanding of adaptation and survival in one of Earth’s most formidable environments.

How can we create a shelter for a hibernating polar bear?
