- The child learned about buoyancy and how the boat floats on water
- They gained an understanding of water displacement and its effect on the boat's stability
- They explored the concept of forces and how they affect the movement of the boat

Continued development related to the Lego boat activity could involve experimenting with different shapes and sizes of boats, observing how water conditions affect the boat's performance, and researching real-life boat designs to inspire more complex Lego creations.
