My Project

For my lower-level students who prefer building and making things, the Lego Gadgets will be perfect.

With this kit, my students will be able to build a catapult, gravity-powered claw,

Starting with ever-popular LEGO components, the book guides the user to make 11 different machines of varying usefulness. This kit will allow us to learn about simple and complex machines and allow for creative building/engineering. Build a working claw, a catapult, or a gravity-powered claw. They will also be able to create a gravity-powered car and wacky boxing robot.

My students are awesome and love to explore science through hands-on activities.
