STEM Storytelling: The Three Little Pigs Build Houses
by Loy Guzman
Students will dive into STEM, literacy, and math concepts through the timeless story of The Three Little Pigs! Students will explore materials by comparing the properties of straw, sticks, and bricks, testing their strength and durability. Teams will then take on a design challenge, building their own houses using various materials, and testing which design is the most sturdy and secure.
