Building lego

Science

• The child learned about the concepts of engineering and design while building with Lego.
• They gained an understanding of structural stability and learned how to create stable structures using Lego bricks.
• The child explored the concept of balance and weight distribution when building more complex structures.
• They also learned about basic physics concepts such as friction and motion while experimenting with the movement of Lego creations.

Continued development can include encouraging the child to explore different themes and challenges when building with Lego. They can try building a bridge that can hold a certain weight or create a moving vehicle using gears and motors. Encouraging them to document their building process can also help them develop their scientific observation and data recording skills.
