About our Workshops
Our workshops are designed to bring maths, science, engineering and language to life and encourage skills in communication, collaboration, critical thinking and problem-solving. Discover the learning philosophy of LEGO Education in the thrilling atmosphere of LEGOLAND Discovery Centre, offering a wonderful balance of learning and fun! A workshop can be added to your booking for £2 per pupil.
Get up and dance!
- Key Stage 1
- 30-45 minutes
- Science, Design and Technology (Forces)
- 30 Pupils
Students become DJ's and learn how cogs and gears work together in this dynamic multi-media learning experience. Make minifigures dance and show off your own awesome moves!
Learning Objectives:
- Explore how pushing on an object can change the speed or direction of its motion.
- Understand that objects push on one another when they touch and that this can change their motion.
- Explore how gears of different sizes push each other, which makes them move faster or slower.
Push Car Derby
- Key Stage 1
- 30-45 minutes
- Science, Design and Technology (Forces and Friction)
- 30 pupils
Build and experiment with push and pull forces to make a car that can be named the Push Car Derby Champion! Students will get to build a launcher and car while learning about fair science experiments.
Learning Objectives:
- Explore and explain how force and friction can change the speed of an object and affect how far it will go in a push car race.
Racing Car
- Key Stage 2
- 30-45 minutes
- Science, Design & Technology (Motion and pattern recognition)
- 30 pupils
Students learn how to build a Starfish Car and a spring-powered launching mechanism while learning about variables such as mass and rolling resistance.
Learning Objectives:
- Customise a race car to explore different variables, such as mass and rolling resistance, to see whose car can go the farthest.
- Record data and use it to make predictions and recognise patterns.
Bobsleigh
- Key Stage 2
- 30-45 minutes
- Science, Design & Technology (Gravity)
- 30 pupils
Take to the mountains and build a bobsleigh and ramp. Students learn about how gravity affects motion and the diffrence between mass and volume.
Learning Objectives:
- Explore how gravity affects the motion of bobsleighs based on mass.
- Observe a pattern and make predictions
- Understand the difference between mass and volume.
Gravity Car Derby
- Key Stage 2
- 30-45 minutes
- Science, Design & Technology (Forces and Gravity)
Students explore the effects of unbalanced and balanced forces on a gravity-powered car, with a twist - the car has no wheels! Build a ramp and learn about variables such as a fair test and safety.
Learning Objectives:
- Conduct an investigation to collect evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of a gravity-powered car.
- Design, build and test a safe gravity-powered car.
