Science of Sports

How well can you work together to pass a ball across a sports field? Can your team score the winning goal?

This lesson will help familiarize your students with the LEGO^® Education BricQ Motion Prime Set. We recommend taking some time before the lesson to show your students how the elements are sorted, and to establish some ground rules for keeping the sets neat and organized.

What's cooler than a gymnast’s horizontal bar? A horizontal bar on a car! Let's make a gymnast-powered car.

It's time to hit the slopes, and race! What does it take to go from the bunny slope to being a downhill pro?

The referee blows the whistle... Foul! The player gets a free kick. What does it take to be able to score every time?

Can a land yacht sail into the wind? Investigate how invisible forces can change an object's motion and how this force acts from a distance.

Although a sailboat or land yacht can’t easily sail upwind, it's possible to make it happen with clever engineering. Investigate how mechanical forces can change an object's motion and how these forces can act from a distance.

One way to get better at sports is to understand the science behind them. It's time to apply your understanding of forces and interactions to build a tabletop ball-striking game.
