Played with legos

Science

• The child learned about the concept of structure and stability by building different structures with the legos and observing how they stood or fell.
• They explored the concept of force and motion when they pushed or pulled the lego creations to see how they moved or stayed in place.
• Through trial and error, the child gained an understanding of the concept of balance by experimenting with different arrangements of legos to create stable structures.
• They also learned about the concept of friction as they observed how legos interacted with different surfaces and materials.

Playing with legos offers a great opportunity for continued development in science. Encourage the child to explore more complex concepts such as engineering principles, like load-bearing structures or designing mechanisms using legos. They can also experiment with different materials and their interactions with legos, such as testing the effect of water or heat on lego structures. Additionally, encourage them to research famous architectural structures or inventions and try to recreate them using legos.
