Homes, Habitats, and Hideouts
In this fun, hands-on team-builder for grades 2–5, students explore local habitats and engineer shelters to survive real-world conditions. Assign one region per team for a full-class adventure or have teams tackle them all for an even bigger challenge!

Time to Design aShelter.
Teams sketch a home using natural materials, create a strategy to survive the weather, and plan defenses against nearby animals.
Build, Decorate, and Share!
Students build models, add creative decorations to highlight key design features, and present their hideouts to the class.
