The Three Little Sheep
This lesson is based on a Navajo Story: "The Three Little Sheep". The story connects to the famous, "The Three Little Pigs". Students become engineers and create different dwelling models: a grass hut, a hogan, or a tepee. Students then apply the engineering process, and test out models using handheld fans, and/or Edison robots to see if the coyote has blown down the sheep dwellings.
