Science
- The student learned about mechanical engineering principles, including gears, axles, and suspension systems, through building the Land Rover model.
- Understanding of the concept of scale and proportion as they followed the instructions to create a replica of a real vehicle.
- Exploration of the underlying physics concepts such as friction, weight distribution, and center of gravity, as they tested the functionality of the model.
Encourage the student to further explore the engineering aspects of the vehicle by researching the design and functionality of real-life Land Rovers. They can also experiment with different modifications to the Lego model to see how it affects its performance.
