My solution is to engage students in a cross-curricular, hands-on learning environment using Simple and Motorized Mechanisms. The Simple and Motorized Mechanisms Base Set and curriculum options are based on constructionist. This educational theory states that children learn best when they experience things firsthand and within a meaningful context. The curriculum, which is aligned to National Standards, engages students to become more independent learners. The 21st-century skills they will develop include problem solving, comprehension, communication, creativity, and critical thinking. It creates a learning environment that addresses the challenges associated with The use of LEGO bricks helps students overcome difficulties and persevere when a first attempt does not work. Students stay motivated to continue to try and learn rather than give up. Through this curriculum, 130 students will rotate through my classroom and learn how to *Design and create working models that represent machines or machine components used in real life. *Build models around themes that push brainstorming. *Analyze cause and effect. *Make observations during testing. *Display and communicate data. *Create working models. These experiences expand a student’s knowledge of simple machines and how to make them move and interact to solve problems. Additionally, these experiences will help students hone speaking and listening skills, as they present their ideas and listen to the ideas of others. The curriculum includes open-ended problem-solving activities that engage students. Students will demonstrate an increased ability to comprehend and solve basic problems more effectively by applying their science, technology, engineering, and mathematics skills to address challenges they encounter through the lessons. Additionally, these experiences will help students develop a better attitude toward solving problems and increase their confidence.
