Unit Overview

India and Jacob—a fictional, world-traveling brother and sister duo—guide kids through the engineering activities. In this unit, they have accidentally brought a cane toad from Australia to New Zealand. Cane toads are considered pests in this area of the world. They are an invasive species that hurts native plants and animals in Australia—and they could do the same in New Zealand. Kids will help India and Jacob engineer a humane trap to catch the toad.
