Learn about relationships between parents and offspring with this first grade STEM challenge that connects to the read aloud Stellaluna by Janell Cannon.

In this first grade STEM lesson, students research animals and learn about how parents help their offspring survive. Then, they create a model to show what they've learned!
This first grade STEM activity aligns with NGSS Life Science Standards for first grade but can be used in 2nd and 3rd grade, too.
