Kindergartners are digging deeper into understanding how the results of force and motion experiments can inform the decisions they make to help solve a problem. Using The Three Little Pigs Sledding Adventure as a backdrop to a design challenge, students must design a solution that knocks the Big, Bad Wolf off of his feet at the base of a sledding hill. Our sledding hill is really the ramp and the crash box represents the Big, Bad Wolf!
Students will use the engineering design process as they walk through multiple iterations of their designs. Can they get the Wolf farther and farther away from the base of the hill when they collide with him? What if the Big, Bad Wolf puts on weight and is now more difficult to move in a collision? Kindergartners are just starting to answer these questions with each test they complete!
