Lego Land
LEGOS!!!! Everybody loves using Legos. At this station you can use different Lego kits to create simple and powered machines. To start, play the Simple Machines Chicago Museum of Science and Industry game to learn about simple machines. Then move on to the Lego Kits to build your own. You can also look at the K'nex Learning Launchers for more information about simple machines.
Here in the SMARTLab we have many uses for Lego kits:
Learning about simple and complex machines,
Programming our creations to be controlled by computers
Creating sets and actors for stop motion videos
Making pneumatic devices
We are also able to use them, to create our own ideas, or look at what others have done. There are several books on the bookshelf to explore, also you may decide to use Google to search for some ideas, and Pintrest as a large number of Lego creations to explore. Check them out! Everything is AWESOME!!!
LEGO notes: We have many kits that have EXACTLY what needs to be in them. When you take out a kit, check it right away to make sure that all of the pieces are there. When you put it back, You are required to make sure all of the parts are there. Each kit is numbered and tracked. If it is missing pieces, you will have to find them and make sure that they get put back. If it falls on the floor pick it up! If you see a piece on the floor from any kit, pick it up! Thanks!!!
