Using the STEM Engineering Design Process, Mrs. Woods challenged her second-graders to help Jasper Rabbit contain some creepy carrots by building a fence around his garden. They used popsicle sticks, a little bit of glue, and a lot of creativity to design and build a fence tall enough to keep the carrots from escaping. Afterward, they reflected on their design process along with a short story about what would happen if the carrots escaped from their fence. They impressed us with their excellent designs!
