Children explore objects in the world around them, and build and play with
models that help them to understand the movement of familiar things. For
example, they build swings, sailboats, windmills and vehicles. 1hey nnd
out what happens when they blow, push, pull or turn. 1hey experiment with
concepts of balance, stability and buoyancy.
See the early years range of LEGO
Education sets on pages 4 and 5.

Children deepen their understanding of how forces affect motion and
explore concepts of energy. 1hey build more complex mechanisms and
use them to make accurate observations, measurements and records,
and to design their own solutions.

New from LEGO Education. the exciting LEGO Education WeDo
concept. Children build models, attach simple sensors and a motor
that are plugged into their computers, and conngure behaviours using
a simple programming tool. 1he WeDo concept provides a fun and easy
way to get started on simple robotics.
See the primary school range on pages I2 and I3.
