LEGO Simple Machines

Grades: 3^rd – 5^th

This hands-on array of guided activities will teach students about simple machines and what makes them not always so simple. Using LEGO® education kits, students will build and test examples of simple machines and gain a stronger understanding of what “mechanical advantage” means. Students will also have unique opportunities to see how simple machines are used in railroading.
