We had so much fun today working on a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) project! We read The Three Little Pigs. Then we discussed why the first two pigs were gobbled up. Afterwards, I presented a STEM challenge; build a house using only 12 Dots (a type of candy) and toothpicks. They were to build a house that the pig would fit in and would be strong enough that the "Big Bad Wolf Blow-dryer" would not blow the house down. The children recorded our pictures and identified the faces and vertices of the 3-D shapes constructed. They also wrote predictions of what they thought would happen to their house during the experiment.
