It’s been over a year since the murder of George Floyd drove millions into the streets to protest the killings of black Americans at the hands of police. While the trial of Derek Chauvin gave some accountability, there is so much that still needs to be done. Zak Cheney Rice writes in NyMag “It’s easy to mistake the worst outcome for the most urgent crisis, but the reality is that the vast majority of people who have violent encounters with the police live to tell about it.

Spark imagination in your youngest students with a fairy tale, and then bring that fairy tale alive with a STEM activity. Fairy tales are one of my favorite STEM tie-ins for elementary aged students.
