Brick by Brick: Learning About Habitats Through LEGO Creations

Help me give my students supplies to explore Science Through LEGO Habitat Creations!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Billman's classroom raised $307

This project is fully funded

My Project

I love how curious and creative my students are. They are always eager to explore new ideas and dive into hands-on activities that allow them to use their imaginations. Whether they’re asking questions about animals, environments, or the world around them, they show a deep interest in learning and discovery. My students thrive when they are given the opportunity to create, collaborate, and explore their surroundings in meaningful ways.

The LEGO sets will be a powerful tool for engaging their minds in our study of habitats.

By using LEGOs, my students will not only learn about ecosystems but also strengthen their engineering and problem-solving skills. They’ll be able to design and build animal habitats, think critically about the elements each habitat needs, and collaborate with their peers to bring their ideas to life. This hands-on experience will make abstract concepts, like ecosystems and the environment, tangible and relatable for them.
