Legos

Science

• Understanding of basic engineering and physics principles through building and experimenting with Legos.
• Developing knowledge of simple machines (e.g. levers, gears) through construction and exploration.
• Exploring concepts of balance, stability, and friction through building structures with Legos.
• Understanding and applying principles of cause and effect in creating different structures and mechanisms.

For continued development, encourage the student to expand their Lego creations by incorporating more complex designs, exploring how different weight distributions affect stability, and finding ways to incorporate simple machines into their constructions. Additionally, they can take their learning further by researching and experimenting with more advanced engineering concepts and principles.
