Gobble, Gobble, Toil and Trouble

by: Milton Huling and Jackie Speake Dwyer

This chapter features Life sciences StEMT lessons. The Turkey Trot lesson has become very popular in middle school where we cover limiting factors in environments. Using a game for Explore students will interact with the limiting factors on a turkey population, which is a collection of data that can be referenced during the Explore debrief. The engineering design challenge involves designing and building a scale model of a new levee system needed to protect a city against the high water associated with a hurricane. A list of materials, teacher background information, standards, safety notes, assessment, and references are included. This book selection also includes the Table of Contents, Foreword, Preface, Acknowledgments, About The Authors, About Our Approach, Connection to Standards, Conclusion, Appendix A, and Index.
