Science
- The child learned about structural stability and the importance of a strong base to support the weight of the towers.
- They gained an understanding of engineering principles through the trial and error process of building and rebuilding towers to make them more stable.
- They developed an awareness of balance and gravity as they experimented with different tower designs and observed how they stood or fell.
Encourage your child to experiment with different architectural styles or famous landmarks using their LEGO creations. They can also explore the concept of weight distribution and experiment with adding additional weight to the towers to test their stability.
