Run a simulated airplane manufacturing plant with your pupils as the builders! Learners build Lego airplane models and collect data on the rate of production, comparing the number produced to the number defective. Using linear...

Young scholars listen to Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and work collaboratively to create a chair for a small stuffed animal that will allow it to sit upright and withstand a short drop out of Legos. Students write about the...

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 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...

Build on your learners' confidence in quick addition as they discover strategies to add tens to two-digit numbers. After reviewing counting by 10's, they discuss tactics to add multiples of 10 to other numbers. They visualize how to...

Students perform different activities to better explain that the word "Average" has 5 different meanings.

Students design, make and appraise a model wheeled vehicle that is capable of carrying a small load. This activity is part of the unit `Wheels in motion'.

Using the resource is probably the most efficient way to learn about efficiency. The 18th installment of a 25-part Energy Systems and Solutions unit has pupils investigate energy efficiency through discussions and associated activities....

Students work collaboratively to design and construct a roof out of Legos for a house that was built in a previous lesson. The roof must be structurally sound and pass certain criteria determined by the teacher.

Learners participate in guessing their partners' hidden Lego pieces from their verbal clues. They work in partners to accomplish their goals. They are meeting a variety of math standards by completing this lesson.

Twelfth graders find the mean, median, and modes of stacks of Lego blocks, They search in newspapers for real life applications of them. They present oral reports on what they have learned.

Students read a version of "The Three Little Pigs" and then work in small groups to design a wall. They use Legos to build the wall and subject their design to a strength test.

Learners investigate growing patterns. In this additive patterns lesson, students analyze the core of growing patterns. Learners extend additive patterns based on the core.

Learners add and subtract polynomials. In this polynomials assessment, students calculate ten questions using addition and subtraction. Learners use Lego manipulatives to create their own worksheet on polynomials.

Learners explore patterns by participating in a sorting activity. In this pattern identification instructional activity, students collaborate in a group and share their footwear in order to categorize each other's shoes based on similar...

Students 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 work together in teams to build a LEGO golf course. They build holes with sensors on them for the golf balls. They answer questions about their project to end the lesson.

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

Students practice measurement and geography in this lesson. They build a Lego vehicle using an RCX. They predict how many seconds it will take their vehicle to reach a specific state on the United States of America map that each group of...

Students explore the concept of money. In this money instructional activity, students role play an economy. Students are divided into three categories- the money factory, construction workers, and the grocery store. Students work...

Students examine the components of a sonar system. In this physical science lesson plan students explain how multibeam and sidescan sonar systems are useful to ocean explorers.  Students simulate sonar operations in an activity...

Fifth graders, after inventorying, add up the numerators of their fractions to see if it is the same number as the denominator. If it is, then they are ready to build whatever they wish, but using only what is in their individual inventory.

Students explore physics. They investigate the strategies used by an engineer to solve a problem. Students construct various models to solve the problem. They display their solutions and explain how they solved the problem.

Eighth graders construct a car out of a block of basswood.  In this car lesson students research, design and construct their own cars.
