Lego tower

Science

• The child learned about balance and stability while building the Lego tower, understanding that a tower needs a solid base to remain upright.
• They explored the concept of gravity as they observed how the tower could collapse if it was not built securely.
• The child gained hands-on experience with engineering and architecture principles by designing and constructing their own tower.
• They also learned about problem-solving and trial-and-error as they experimented with different techniques to build a taller and more stable tower.

For continued development, encourage the child to experiment with different variations of the Lego tower, such as building bridges or structures with different shapes and sizes. They can also explore the concept of weight distribution by adding additional Lego pieces to different parts of the tower. Encourage them to document their findings and observations in a journal or create a presentation to explain their experiments.
