 Grade 3s have started our building things unit in Science. We started our unit with a Three Little Pigs Challenge. After listening to the story of the Three Little Pigs, students were given the challenge: build the best Three Little Pig House. Working with a partner, students were given materials to work with. The Big Bad Wolf then came to visit the classroom to see if he could blow down the houses!
