Lego

Science

• The child learned about structural stability and balance while building with Lego bricks.
• They gained an understanding of simple machines and how they can be applied in engineering while creating moving parts with Lego Technic sets.
• Through building different models, the child learned about concepts of friction, force, and motion.
• They also explored principles of geometry and symmetry while following instructions to build various shapes and structures.

Encourage continued development by challenging the child to create their own models that represent scientific concepts, such as building a simple machine or a model demonstrating a scientific principle. This can help reinforce their understanding of the concepts they've learned while also encouraging creativity and critical thinking.
