Science

• The child has learned about the basic principles of aerodynamics through building a Lego plane.
• They have gained an understanding of the importance of balance and stability in the design of the plane.
• They have explored the concept of force and motion as they launch and fly their Lego plane.
• The child has also learned about problem-solving and critical thinking skills as they troubleshoot and make improvements to their plane's design.

Encourage the child to continue exploring the world of aviation by introducing them to different types of aircraft. They can learn about helicopters, rockets, and even space shuttles. Encourage them to think about how these different types of aircraft are designed and how they function. They can also experiment with different materials and shapes to see how it affects the flight of their Lego plane. Encourage them to document their findings and observations in a journal or create a mini science fair display to showcase their learning.
