Eat Like a Giraffe

Invite students to explore animal adaptations as they take on the challenge of designing an addition to their own bodies that helps them reach a hanging leaf, just like a giraffe. In this creative lesson, learners delve into the science of adaptations, use inventive problem-solving to build their own specialized tools, and test their designs by trying to capture a leaf with only their new extension. The interactive testing is always a favorite, bringing science, engineering, and real-world thinking to life for every student!
