Okay, I’m focused on LEGOs for Chemistry, next Fall, with both the high school and middle school classes. Take a look at Model Chemical Elements at Science Fridays. Mainly, it’s a sampler from MIT Edgerton’s Molecule Sets. It’s a good way to evaluate whether or not you want to dive into MIT Molecule Sets or not.
Certainly there are other resources for science, in general. Sign up for LEGO Teacher Resources, which are divided into STEAM and Science units. Many of these resources work for young kiddos. Here is a middle school image about sorting matter. I thought the Middle School materials are more suitable for upper elementary grades.
Science Lessons has several simple ideas for using LEGOS, such as stop motion mitosis. Little Bins has LEGO Coding. Look at the LEGO Archives at Frugal Fun for some great ideas, such as the model of the human heart.
LEGO teacher resources are scattered. Here is LEGO WeDo 2.0. Here are LEGO Mindstorms. Here is the app address for LEGO Boost. Mindstorms and Boost sets are discontinued; however, the apps are still supported by LEGO. Both sets are widely available at Good Will. LEGO Boost requires a great deal of building; however, once finished, the kiddo can code simple actions. We completed several builds as a family, pix at bottom.
LEGO has offered loads of educational sets: BrickQ Motion and Spike.
