Science
- The child has learned about engineering and physics principles through building and experimenting with Lego structures.
- They have gained an understanding of simple machines, such as gears and levers, through the construction of moving parts in their Lego creations.
- Through building Lego models of animals or vehicles, the child has learned about biology and engineering design principles.
Encourage the child to take their Lego-building skills to the next level by incorporating more complex designs and structures. They can also explore building mechanisms that mimic real-life systems, such as designing a Lego model with functioning gears and pulleys. Encouraging the child to research and experiment with different scientific principles while building with Lego can further their understanding of the subject.
