Bear Resistant Design | On Grizzly Ground

In this lesson students will learn about designing products for areas with grizzly bears so that the bears aren’t able to access inappropriate food sources. Two examples shown in the video clip from Wyoming PBS include coolers for storing food and garbage cans. The students then try their own hand at redesigning an everyday product so that it becomes bear resistant.

Note:  Spanish captions are also available for this resource.
