First Grade Steam Project

Ms. Nancy Amador first graders made a FUN experiment that incorporated all the elements of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, & Math).

The kids read two different versions of “The 3 Little Pigs,” and made a Venn Diagram comparing and contrasting the stories.

Then, they were working in groups and they got to build a house for their “little pig.” The house needed to be able to withstand the “big bad wolf blow dryer,” and not fall down!
