A Hatchet STEM Project: Flight of Survival - Paper Airplane STEM Challenge
"Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen is a novel about a young boy named Brian Robeson who is stranded in the Canadian wilderness after a plane crash. While the book doesn't explicitly teach STEM principles, it offers various opportunities to discuss and explore these principles, especially those related to flight, design, and engineering.
