Understanding the PYP Key Concepts through 'The Three Little Pigs'

Each concept is explored with examples, such as the physical description of the pigs' houses for 'form' and the evolution of housing for 'change'. The video emphasizes understanding these concepts to drive student and teacher inquiries.
