3 Little Pigs STEM Activity
After reading The Three Little Pigs, the students had a lot of fun practicing their carpentry skills. They worked with a partner to build a house of straw (fabric), a house of sticks (popsicle sticks), and a house of bricks (legos). We then invited The Big Bad Wold (blow dryer) to try to blow them down. We determined which houses were the strongest and why and also measured how far each house blew. It was some great learning…we may have some future architects on our hands!
