Science
- The 3 year old student has learned about structural stability and balance while building with Lego, understanding how to make structures stand and not fall.
- They have also learned about basic engineering principles, such as stacking and interlocking pieces to create a stable structure.
- By experimenting with different combinations of Lego pieces, the student has gained a basic understanding of cause and effect, learning how different combinations affect the final structure.
For continued development, encourage open-ended building to prompt the child to think about design, stability, and structure. You can also introduce simple science experiments related to balance and stability, using Lego as a tool for hands-on learning.
