This STEM Project is a companion activity to The Watcher: Jane Goodall's Life of Chimps by Jeanette Winter. The book explores the life and discoveries of Jane Goodall.

The Engineering Design Process:

Students plan, design, and execute their own ideas. After they have completed their activity, there is time for reflection on what worked and what didn't. They follow the six step Engineering Design Process: Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, Experiment, Improve.

Integrate Writing!

After completing their bug grabber, students write about what they learned about Jane Goodall.

Amazing resource for STEM club, STEM teachers, elementary librarians, parents who love hands-on learning, and elementary teachers who want to create a hands-on educational environment in their classroom! This is perfect for Earth Day and Women's History Month!
