Illustrate the importance of specific details and clear directions. Sitting back-to-back, partners take turns building a Lego structure and giving directions to their partners to create an identical structure. The subsequent discussion...

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...

Early learners explore shapes using colored blocks. They first get some hands-on time with the blocks and then look at beginning math concepts regarding spatial relationships. They work with a partner to build a 6-8 block tower...

Students build cars out of legos. In this building lesson plan, students can also use Lego Mindstorms robotic equipment to add engines.

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 listen to the book "Henry Builds a Cabin." They design a cabin using Lego pieces based on information from the story.

Students 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...

Students participate in an activity in which they build homes out of Legos. They work together to build the home and a hospital. They identify the role of each building they build for their community.

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.

Learners are introduced to the function and design of the following Lego pieces: beams, bricks, plates, axles, tires, hubs and bushings. They then work with a partner to build something using only these pieces.

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.

Learners use Legos to build representations of a variety of numbers. They then sort and order their representations and pair them with the written number.

Students compete in a Lego Robot Competition. For 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.

Students explore the design of structures. For this science lesson, students use various items to build structures. Students discuss the structures they build.

Students 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 build Lego cars with attached light sensors. They program the car to enter a tunnel and reverse out when it records a darker light reading.

Learners simulate building a Roman aqueduct using an interactive website. In this social studies activity, students design their own class aqueduct. They construct one inside the science classroom.

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 create a spaceship, satellite, or space station. In this space lesson, students consider design elements for buildings and objects in space. Students use K'Nex, Legos, or other household materials for their creation. Students...

Students use legos to create a farm. In this farm lesson plan, students create farm animals, a fence, a barn, trees, and more.

Students choose which building material to use to create their structure and which animal to house. After being read a story, they examine and identify the differnet types of homes mentioned. They take pictures of their structures...

Challenge young learners to cut the clutter with this fun engineering project. As employees of a home and office supply company, young engineers are asked to develop devices that organize everyday items. After participating in a...

Students construct a spacecraft out of Lego blocks and other materials. They work on their models in small groups while building. They become familar with the planets while working cooperatively.

Fourth graders build an explorer vehicle which they program through an obstacle course to enter the tomb or temple to discover artifacts.
