$5.00

Engineering

Grade Lvl:K-2

Inspired by Eric Carle’s “The Very Hungry Caterpillar,” students are challenged to help the hungry caterpillar avoid a stomachache by designing a clever way to transport his food. Through hands-on exploration, learners discover the unique challenges of moving different foods safely, then use creative problem-solving to engineer a carrier that can keep food secure while skipping a distance of 20 feet. Kids love the mix of storytelling and engineering, making this lesson an exciting and memorable way to connect literature and STEAM!
