Lego Education is bringing science to life with a new set designed to engage kids in the classroom through hands-on experimentation. Unlike previous kits, which served as supplemental tools, Lego Education Science is a complete teaching aid for grades K-8, making science lessons fun, creative, and collaborative.
Students use the iconic Lego bricks to build models and explore scientific concepts like momentum and structural stability. Each of the 120 lessons is designed to fit into a typical 45-minute classroom session and can be taught without a background in science.
From earthquake simulations to building stronger structures, the lessons are full of playful scenarios, like designing a lemonade stand that can withstand seismic forces. The kits cater to diverse learning needs and are aligned with national science standards.
Kids have been building, creating, and exploring with Legos for generations. It's great to see the company formally partner with schools to use the bricks in such a positive way.
Each lesson involves building something with Lego pieces, then using what was built to explore a specific scientific concept or phenomenon, from momentum to structural stability to biomorphology. The kits are designed to be used in groups of four students, with an online component that teachers use to guide a lesson plan, which typically starts with a playful scenario or storyline and often features a familiar Lego minifigure.
