LEGO® EDUCATION WORKSHOPS

Get Up and Dance

Explore how different gears push each other and change the dancers' spinning speed in a fun dance competition. Students will explore how pushing on an object can change the speed or direction of its motion, and start or stop its movement. Understand that objects push on one another when they touch and that this can change their motion. Explore how gears of different sizes push each other, which makes them move faster or slower.

Push Car Derby

Build a spring launcher and a car with a removable brake to explore push and pull forces, and the effects of friction. Students will explore and explain how force and friction can change the speed of an object and affect how far it'll go in a push car race.

Race Car

The light changes from red to green, and off you go! Did your pit team choose the right wheels? Will your team win? Students will customize a race car to explore different variables, like mass and rolling resistance, to see whose car can go the farthest and record data and use it to make predictions and recognize patterns.

Bobsled

The crowd cheers as bobsleds zoom down the ice track! What sets the winner apart? Grab your crash helmet and get ready to ride a bobsled to find out! Students will explore how gravity affects the motion of bobsleds based on mass, observe a pattern and make predictions and understand the difference between mass and volume.

Free Throw

Students will explore the motion of a basketball when scoring a three-point throw and will observe and measure the basketball’s motion to recognize a pattern, record data and make predictions. Will they be able to score a perfect basket every time?

Add LEGO® Education Workshops to Your Field Trip

Our workshops incorporate the LEGO® Education BricQ Motion Essential set to engage students in the exploration of physical science and help foster an understanding of forces, motion, and interactions by providing easy hands-on learning experiences.

• After adding your field trip tickets, visit the 'Workshops' tab to select your workshop time and date.
• Be sure to schedule your workshop time for the same date as your field trip and during the time you expect to spend at the attraction.
• All workshops must be booked in addition to a field trip visit. All students will require both a general admission and a workshop ticket for their visit.
