The Three Little Pigs

What problems do you see?

Goldilock's has recommended us to the Pig family! The Pig family is eager to build a few new houses that are 100% wolf proof! They have asked us for some designs and prototypes. How can we design a house that is strong enough to survive a powerful wolf sneeze?

CHALLENGE: Design a house that will stay intact and on the table while being blown by the wolf (the hairdryer). Houses may not be taped down to the table.

1. Get with your partner and check out the material tray. These are your constraints.

2. Design Time on your own. Diagram and label your idea.

3. Share your ideas with your partner. Come up with a plan together. Can you combine your ideas?

4. Make your house.

5. Test it out!

6. Improve: Make changes to your design as needed.

7. Document: Get photo taken with final prototype and design page.

8. Be ready to present your prototype!
