STEM Challenge: 'Big Smelly Bear' Back Scratchers

So what's a big smelly bear to do when he has an itch on his back and no one is willing to help him scratch it?! Enlist the help of the 2-F STEM student engineers to make him his very own back scratcher, of course! ; )


After reading the book, Big Smelly Bear by Britta Teckentrup, students were given the challenge to build a back scratcher that could help this lovable, but stinky bear whenever he has an itch. Our 2-F engineers had their choice of materials and worked in pairs to create these functional and helpful tools. They even got to try them out on one another (and their teachers!) to make sure that it was durable enough to stand up to the itchiness level of a bear! 




Another job well done and fabulous STEM afternoon in 2-F! : )
