Engineering Process with The 3 Little Pigs
Mini Unit Plan for 1st Grade (K-2) on the Engineering/Design Process. Students have an opportunity to explore a literature connection in 2 books, the engineering process as they build multiple homes with materials, and then build a final project with a mix of materials to test their process for Ask, Imagine, Create, Test, and Improve cycle.
This lesson can take 7-9 Days with 20-30 minutes per session. Students can be solo or can work in small groups. Students may also have exposure to build 4 micro homes, or students can be restricted to building 2 homes, the single material- observe other successes and improvements, and then build their own mixed media home.

Using the engineering design process, students will collaborate to plan and build a tower...but not just any old tower! This "Tower with a Twist" has to include a suspended cup that can also hold
Understand geometric concepts such as shapes, angles, and symmetry. Apply engineering and design principles to create structures using Magna-Tiles. Develop problem-solving and critical-thinking skills
This thematic unit has four lessons which introduce students to engineering, the engineering design process, and facing challenges. Over the course of the four lessons, students will learn how to
