## [Engineering Owl Shelters In the last unit, students observed butterflies moving through their life cycle, explored how butterflies are pollinators, and then designed a hand pollinator. In this unit, students explore the science phenomena of how shelters help animals survive in their environment and then design a prototype burrow-like structure to keep a burrowing owl cool in hot temperatures.](https://www.knowatom.com/science-phenomena-videos/2nd-grade-science/engineering-owl-shelters)
