LEGO Engineering Curriculum Modules |
|
Our curriculum modules are fully-developed, classroom-tested
instructional sequences that address specific STEM concepts through
LEGO engineering activities. Each module consists of a cohesive set of
class sessions, with each session building upon previous learning. For
each module, we provide you with lesson plans, teacher resource
documents, student handouts, and assessment materials. Although
each module was created for a particular age group, you may find ways
to adapt them for a different set of students. Enjoy, and let us know
how it goes!
Robotics: Assistive Devices for the
Future
Grades 6-8
This curriculum module engages middle-school students in designing,
building and programming a LEGO robot that could work as an assistive
device for the physically challenged population. The students form
teams or “companies” that work together to create their LEGO robot
prototype. The module culminates in a final presentation where student
teams present their products to a panel of judges.

The Science of Sound: Design a Musical Instrument Grades 3-5
This curriculum module engages upper elementary students in
explorations of sound through the construction of LEGO musical
instruments. Students build LEGO versions of drums, guitars, and
maracas, and they conduct various investigations to learn about the
properties of these instruments and about the science of sound.
