Build a Polar Bear Den January Winter STEM Activity

Build a Polar Bear Den with this Winter STEM Challenge!

Students love completing this winter activity! Students need to build a den for a polar bear mom and her cubs using only the materials provided. This is a great engaging activity for students to work on during the winter months and as part of a polar bear unit or arctic animal unit.

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.

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 as a beginning of the year activity or end of the year STEM challenge!
