Piggy's House of Cards STEM Activity

I've begun integrating STEM into my classroom this year. This is kind of a stretch for me, because honestly, I don't think that way :) I think STEM activities are fabulous, but I am challenged by them too, ha ha.

For my kiddos, I created a STEM activity using the scenario of the "The Three Pigs". I printed a version for each student and we read aloud. Then, I announced the project. Students were thrilled to say the least. I even found a hand held fan from dollar tree to test the houses' ability to withstand the wind. ;) 

At first, students were challenged by the limited supplies, but as they began planning and deliberating, my kiddos came up with fantastic designs. I was amazed at the creativity from my students. They went above and beyond the project requirements...some even decorating! 

Here are some examples:
