Machines & Mechanisms from LEGO® Education shows students how the world works. Machines affect our lives every day. When students understand how they are built they can apply that knowledge to improve machines or even create new ones.
Get students in gear using Machines & Mechanisms. Introduce them to gears, levers, pulleys, wheels and axles and other simple mechanical devices. Students also gain an understanding of energy, force, motion, structures and other physical science principles.
The supplementary Curriculum Packs helps students connect the models they build to real-life science principles. The portfolio offers tiered products that enable students from Preschool through to Middle School to explore and investigate real-world actions and reactions.
With Machines & Mechanisms, students work as scientists and engineers to seek answers and design creative solutions.
Let’s ignite machines and mechanisms together!
