| Description: | This vehicle-themed LEGO & Engineering Class includes a mix of LEGO builds and engineering fun! Though this is *not* solely a LEGO class, students will get to make and bring home builds such as: a variety of LEGO scale cars, a small LEGO vehicle set (like a go-kart size), a miniature monster truck, small airplanes, and a balloon-powered car.
Aside from LEGO builds, we will also dive into other engineering projects about vehicles. Students will get the opportunity to experiment with basic bridges, test balloon and magnet cars, design a monster truck rally, work on painting projects, analyze paper airplane weight, enjoy a military jet “catapult system” with resistance bands, make a simple rocket, shoot “missiles” at LEGO builds, and more.
Each class will start with a “tidbit of the day” that either covers a brief engineering tip that Mrs. Czerwien learned from interviewing two engineers or a fun engineering fact.
Different class sections will also include LEGO building time, short YouTube videos about the day’s theme, engineering activities, and some outdoor play.
Firmly Planted has a YouTube Pro account; so there will not be commercials in the videos. |
