Show young chemists what a chemical reaction looks like with two parts of a hands-on experiment. First, learners conduct a wet lab where they observe the reactants (baking soda and calcium chloride, with phenolsulfonphthalein)...

Young scientists construct an understanding of molecular compounds in this hands-on science instructional activity. Using LEGO® to model the atoms of different elements, students build molecules based on the chemical formulas...

Learners utilize computer programs to operate a simple robot.  In this technology lesson, students create robots using Lego pieces and simple motors to move them.  Learners measure the speed of the robots by running Robolab...

Students are introduced the "Lego Robot Competition", demonstrate Lego Data Control System that is controlled through tethers by laptop computers. High School students create the competition, organize the media coverage, and conduct the...

In this robots lesson, students explore the LEGO website and complete a web quest. In groups students work in groups and read excerpts from Robots & Robot, chart jobs robots can perform and report their findings to the class....

Students evaluate what life would be like living on the moon or another planet in our solar system.  In this science lesson plan, students create a colony that they would use to live in on the moon using Legos. 

Students build and program a LEGO robotic car as well as measure and graph its speed. They acquire familiarity with principles of construction, motion, design and problem solving. They compare a robot's speed over two different surfaces...

Militaries throughout history have used topography information to plan strategies, yet many pupils today don't understand it. Scholars use Legos and a contour gauge to understand how to construct and visualize topographic profiles. This...

Students experiment try to build a Lego car.  In this physical science lesson students present and demonstrate the vehicle that they constructed. 

Young scholars create, design, and evaluate different structures. Students will use Lego blocks to create several different designs. They will evaluate the various steps involved in creating their structures. They then will think about...

Fifth graders construct a wheel and axle model using a Lego Dacta set. They read and discuss informational text from the book "It's Science! Machines We Use," and in small groups create a simple machine using Legos.

Fifth graders explore the concept of pulleys and levers. They read and discuss text from the book "It's Science! Machines We Use," and in small groups construct a simple lever and pulley using a Lego Dacta set.

Levitation isn't just for magicians. Pupils design and build a small portion of track for a maglev train using magnets and Lego bricks. The goal is to get the trains to levitate—without using magic!

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.

How efficient is a motor in a LEGO set? Future engineers conduct an activity where a LEGO motor-generator system raises an object to a specified height. They then show what they learned and use their measurements to calculate the energy...

What if you had a design problem you wanted to solve, but were unable to draw because you were unable to see? Teach your learners with visual impairments that they can use Wikki Stix®, a braille ruler, Legos®, and Constructo Straws to...

Students are introduced to the process of building a tankbot. They create a tankbot using a minimun number of parts. Students identify the Lego parts needed to create the tankbot.

Students compete in a Lego Robot Competition. In this after school lesson, students design and compete in the Lego Robot Competition. This lesson includes time-lines and guidelines for an after-school club.

Pupils design and create a LEGO structure that will house and protect a temperature sensor. They leave the structure in a safe spot and check the temperature regularly and chart it. After the students have built their structures, the...

Students design and build a balance using LEGO, string, and a set of standard metric weights.

Learners build houses out of legos. They create the strongest model with the "drop test" in mind. They must build a structure that will pass the drop test. (Teacher drops from waist to the ground)

Students examine axles and wheels using LEGO materials. They investigate the uses of axles, gears, and wheels.

Students collect and analyze data about wind speed. They build a Lego wind sail and measure the wind speed with a rotation sensor. They use software to analyze the data.

What better way to introduce the idea of a sequence than with robots! An educational lesson explains the classic Fibonacci sequence before pupils build and program a robot to move. Additionally, the lesson challenges individuals to...
