Lego tower

Science

• The child learned about stability and balance by experimenting with different ways to stack the Lego bricks to create a tall tower.
• They learned about gravity as they observed the tower collapsing if it was not built sturdily enough.
• Through trial and error, they learned about the importance of a strong foundation for the tower to stand tall.
• They also learned about problem-solving and critical thinking skills as they tried different strategies to build the tallest tower possible.

For continued development, encourage the child to explore different engineering concepts with Lego. They can experiment with building bridges, ramps, or even simple machines using Lego bricks. This will further enhance their understanding of stability, balance, and problem-solving skills.
