Life-Sized Squirrel STEM Challenge

Have you ever tried to make a life-sized squirrel?  It is tougher than it looks!

While this is a January STEM challenge, we are reading Flora and Ulysses, so this one worked perfectly!

All you need is some white bulletin board paper and squirrel measurements.  You should have students look these different measurements up on-line.

There are lots of parts you can measure on a squirrel!

There are different types of squirrels you can use for this challenge!

Measurements are included in the file for each of these types of squirrels.  

 

Look at all of those squirrels in the picture above!

Kids had a great time with this one.  It was a lot harder than they thought it would be and they got to do some measurement!

Squirrels are EVERYWHERE around us right now.  Why not learn a little more about them?
