Built Lego tower

Activity: "Built Lego tower"

Science

• The child learned about structural stability by experimenting with different tower designs and observing which ones were more stable.
• They gained understanding of gravity and balance as they tried to build taller towers without them toppling over.
• They explored the concept of weight distribution by adding weight to different parts of the towers and observing the effects on stability.
• Through trial and error, they learned about the importance of using a strong foundation to ensure the stability of the tower.

Encourage the child to further develop their understanding of structural stability by challenging them to build taller and more complex towers. They can experiment with different materials and designs, and even explore the concept of earthquake-resistant structures by simulating earthquakes and observing how their towers withstand the shaking.
