Legos in science class? Watch your pupils fall in love with this activity. After learning to measure potential and kinetic energy, young scientists create their own ramps using Lego Mindstorm sensors and software.

Middle schoolers construct models of simple and complicated machines with Legos. Then they design an experiment using the scientific method. ESE modifications included.

Young scholars build Lego cars which have two different types of tire surfaces. They roll them down ramps that have both rough and smooth surfaces to determine how friction affects the car as it rolls.

Students brainstorm if they think that any lever would use the same amount of paperclips. They break into small groups and use a data sheet as well as a lever, Lego person, fulcrum, and some paperclips and prove what they think by taking...

Students design and build a car that is capable of traveling across the floor quickly, and also up a steep ramp.
