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...

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

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

Students 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 engineering...

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 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.

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

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...

Learners 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 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.

Learners use various technology elements to storyboard and create an animal animation story based on a nonfiction story they've read. In this animation story instructional activity, students work in groups and read nonfiction animal...

Young scholars 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,...

Learners 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.

Students consider the limitations of deep water oceanography and design an underwater habitat to support scientists while they complete long term studies under the ocean. For this engineering lesson, students are introduced to the...

Pronouns need to learn how to get along with their antededents. Learners practice making subject and verbs agree as well as pronouns and antecedents agree. They work together to analyze the sentences using legos. They know they are...

Students practice measurement and geography in this instructional activity. 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...

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

Students explore marine life by conducting a rubber duck experiment. In this water currents lesson, students practice identifying latitude and longitude coordinates on a map and define the currents of major oceans. Students discuss the...

Students conduct a variety of experiments on photosynthesis. In this biology lesson, students identify the factors required for the process to occur. They perform computerized experiments to test the amount of oxygen produced when plants...

Students design an underwater vehicle. In this engineering lesson, students will design an underwater robot that includes specific systems for it to function properly. Each group will present their prototype to the class.

Students examine slope and build a Lego car that can take a steep slope. In this mechanics lesson students build a car and demonstrate them in class and describe what they did.

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

Students demonstrate how to create a clear and effective instruction list to complete a task. In this experimental activity students work in teams to design an object using Legos and make an instruction booklet to go with it.
