Ciese: Scratch My Back: Children's Engineering Activity

Curated by ACT

This lesson is based on the book Big Smelly Bear by Britta Teckentrup. In the book, a big, smelly bear has an itch in the middle of his back and can't scratch it. Nothing the bear tries works. Using the Engineering Design Process, children will design, build, and test a backscratcher for themselves.
