Students in STEM ELA read the novel The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. In the novel two children are picked to go into an arena and survive. The last child is considered the winner. The is a novel is about having the survival skills for the environment and protecting themselves against others. The students in social studies had to create a survival tool and in science had to create a solar oven that would have been very useful in the arena for arena.

What it can do? Why it would be a good device to have while trying to survive? My device is a shoe that is not only handy for traveling in the hunger games but also as a shoe itself. My shoe can be used for camouflage for the bushes or it can be use for the traveling purposes. My shoe is layered with many layers of cloth that can make you almost invisible in the trees. Not to mention, its very cheap and can be created very quickly. With multiple layers of cardboard, it wont break quickly and superglue to help sustain.
To help back up my statements, in the hunger games, Katniss hides in the trees to hide from the careers. Eventually. the carriers find her and try to kill her or get her off of the tree. My shoe with the cloth on the outside it can make her less visible to the careers just a little bit. Not to mention, the shoes can also help you climb the tree if you don't have any shoes on at the moment. Its strong and cheap and it can help you survive in the arena.

My device would be a good thing to have while trying to survive. My device is made out of a small box, a cooking pan, foil, a pringles box, and an air filter. It can cook food without being detected. For example, the smoke flows through the pringles box like a chimney and with the air filter inside the pringles box, it makes the air undetectable. In part two of the hunger games, the Careers where able to detect people in the arena just by the smoke. Therefore, it is important for smoke not to draw in your enemies, so you can survive.
My device also is light reflectance and can keep the insulate the heat. For example, when you are cooking with a bright fire in to dark you are more likely to get caught. In the beginning of part two of the hunger games, a tribute was found by the Careers because of her crackling fire in the night. My device will also keep the heat in like an oven, the only way the heat can get out is by opening the front flap to put firwood in, or by taking the top pan off. The pan that is placed on top can be taken off and washed if needed, this device is also very portable and easy to carry. In conclusion, my device would be a great necessity to survive, not only in the hunger games but in other situations as well.

My device is something I quickly came up with from the top of my mind. My device requires these materials: cotton ball or flammable cloth, plastic wrap, metal pencil holder, string, flint and or any rock that can send sparks. My device is a cooking device that can be tied around your neck using string and you can multitask like moving and using the device at the same time. You could hunt and have this device around your neck. It is accessible and easy to use. The materials are quite frankly easy to find. You send sparks from hitting a flint rock and a regular rock together onto the cotton or wool and it creates a heating device. Then, you wrap the metal pencil holder with the plastic wrap to keep the heat in and to stop you from getting burned, add a wool cloth on the outside of the plastic wrap.
