Inspired by Mo Willems’ “Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus,” students are challenged to design a vehicle that the Pigeon is finally allowed to drive! After exploring the features of vehicles, including wheels and axles, learners use their creativity and engineering skills to build a vehicle that can travel the greatest distance possible. Students love watching their Pigeon travel in style, making this lesson both engaging and memorable!
