Alpha-Robotics
A Multi-Disciplinary Approach to Teaching Engineering Concepts to Young Children.
A Pilot Lesson
Students will design a vehicle made of Lego pieces. Using a ramp, the students will measure the distance their vehicles travel. They will problem solve to determine which wheels can make their vehicle go the farthest. They will also graph the results of their trials.

Thanks for providing this resource
This activity looks like a great challenge, but I think the kids will have fun, too. Thank you!
I love finding more ideas for my legos!
Thank you!
Very straightforward and fabulous engineering with Legos. Can't wait to do it!
The print outs are not clear and print poorly.
Thank you for letting me know that the worksheets are no longer clear. I have resubmitted the same worksheets and they should be clear. Let me know if you have any further problems. Please revise your assessment if you find that they are now clear. I don't know what happened to them over time!
Thank you. I have been looking for a straight forward lego lesson with a scientific angle. It's easy to adapt for differentiation, and to connect to math and literacy (my kids are on the younger end of K)
This lesson can last for days! My kindergarten students spent many hours, choosing different combinations of wheels and tested their theories of the distances the various combinations would go. It was very exciting to watch the students problem solve!
