Be a Treehouse Master: Design and Build a Treehouse
by Mary McGalloway
This is a fun and engaging lesson where students work individually, or with a partner, to build a treehouse. Creativity and collaboration among students in my 4th grade STEAM Club were evident in the final product! Give it a try, you will be pleasantly surprised! (This activity can be adapted to other grade levels as well.)
