In the final literature/STEM adventure, we read The Silly Story of Goldilocks and the Three Squares, a variant on the traditional story of Goldilocks and the 3 Bears. The story outtake occurs after the story concludes. The 3 Bears have decided that they want to protect their house from Goldie ever coming back and messing with their stuff again. The STEM challenge was to design an operational trap to capture Goldie before she enters the Bears' house. One solution involved a trip wire which then sends down a plastic bag which would drop over Goldie and seal her off. A second involved luring Goldie into the trap with a trail of her favorite square snacks. The third trap was still under construction when time ran out; it involved a wooden cylinder to enclose Goldie. The teams agreed that the single most important factor for success for all of the challenges was teamwork!
