Lego Procedure Activity

In this Lego activity, students use all the Lego pieces in their baggy to build a unique structure. They write directions on how to build the structure and trade baggies with a partner to rebuild each other's structures. They then answer questions about the success of their procedure and the importance of following detailed instructions. This activity relates to procedure writing in science.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Lego Procedure Activity Add lego lab to your table of contents (page 7)

  2. Lego Activity • Use all Lego pieces in the baggy to create a unique structure. • On page 7 write your name and the number on your baggy at the top in large letters.

  3. Lego Activity • Once you’ve built a structure, write directions on the lined sheet of paper telling another student how to build your structure. • DO NOT disassemble your structure! • Be sure that your directions sheet has: • Your baggy number • Your name

  4. Lego Activity • Find a ‘building buddy’ across the room and trade baggies. • You must use the written directions they gave you to rebuild their structure. • Once you’ve finished building it, raise your hand for Ms. Blakesley to come and examine your structure.

  5. Questions to AnswerAnswer in complete sentences!! • Did your procedure successfully lead your partner to duplicate your structure? • How would you change your procedure to help your partner? • Why is a procedure useful? • What can you include in a procedure to make it easy to read and follow? • What is the connection between this activity and procedure writing in science?

  6. Be Sure to Include: Enough detail that someone could duplicate your work The idea is not to include every teensy tiny little component of what you did Include enough detail that someone else could potentially get the same results you did

  7. Procedure Writing Procedures are NOT notes for yourself, to remind you of what you did Procedures are step-by-step instructions so someone else can do the exact same thing Scientific findings must be verifiable!
