Science
- The 9 year old student learned about the principles of engineering and design through building different structures with the Lego blocks in the club.
- Through trial and error, the student understood the concepts of balance and stability as they constructed and tested various Lego creations.
- The student gained basic knowledge of physics by experimenting with gears, levers, and simple machines while building with the Lego sets.
- Understanding concepts such as symmetry, patterns, and shapes were enhanced as the student created intricate designs with the Lego pieces.
Encourage the child to further explore scientific concepts through building more complex structures with Lego, and to experiment with incorporating simple mechanisms and principles of physics into their designs. They can also research historical or significant structures and try to recreate them with their Lego sets, gaining further understanding of engineering and architecture.
