Description
“Little Pig, Little Pig a new friend you've made. Open the door and don't be afraid!" This fun twist on the classic Three Little Pigs provides an engaging and familiar way to teach simple machines to young learners. Beginning with a read-along story with black and white illustrations, children meet the Scientific Wolf, who is the son of the famous Big Bad Wolf, as well as the daughters of the three little pigs. Using several simple machines, Scientific Wolf schemes to devour the three little pigs. Hilarity ensues as the wolf uses and misuses simple machines in this clever tale that teaches scientific principles. The book concludes with teaching information, well explained hands-on activities, thinking questions, extension activities, an assessment, and answers to the assessment. Student pages are reproducible for a family or single classroom. ~Deanne
Publisher's Description of 3 Pigs and the Scientific Wolf
Once upon a time there were 3 little girl pigs plagued by the tricky wolf, but this was not an ordinary wolf. Oh no, this wolf knows about science and simple machines! The question is--does he know how to use them correctly?
Meet the son of the "Big Bad Wolf" and the daughters of the "Three Little Pigs" in this illustrated (ready-to-color) take-off of the original. In this Read-Along story, the son thinks he is wiser and more clever than his father and can use his scientific knowledge of machines in order to capture the three pigs for "piggy jam," "piggy cake," and "piggy pizza."
Using his charm,"Little pig, little pig, a new friend you've made. Open the door and don't be afraid,"the young wolf uses an inclined plane, a lever, a wheel and axle, wedges, gears, and a screw to catch the pigs. But the young wolf doesn't quite use hiscritical thinking skillsalong with his scientific knowledge!
The book includes a Science Attitude Survey, 8 Simple Machine Lesson Plans for hands-on learning, 8 Extended Challenge Activities, 8 "Critical/Creative Thinking Questions," and an end-of-unit Assessment.
The activities are correlated to the National Science Standards and include Objectives for Students.
