Most Friday's we take a break from our regular school work and try to do more puzzle/game type stuff. Things that get them learning without them even realizing it. This past Friday we pulled out some puzzles and did a fun Lego experiment with our Lego Education set. All the kids really got into it...super fun to watch!
 |
| Vann picked a dinosaur puzzle...he busted it out pretty quickly! |
 |
| And Chayce helped Ash with a firetruck puzzle however Ash had other plans for his puzzle pieces haha! He was throwing them in the air...silly boy :) |
 |
| Usually Ash is very into puzzles, but today not so much. |
 |
| He just kept throwing the pieces in the air lol. |
For this Lego experiment the boys built a car with a flywheel. Then they tested it on their track and measured how far it rolled with different combos of tires on it. It was a lot of fun and they really enjoyed it!
 |
| Ash built his own Lego car and had to test it out too :) |
 |
| They were great about taking turns pushing the car and recording their data. |
 |
| He had to record the results too! |
 |
| So for each car they tested first they predicted how far it would go and then they did 3 runs, recording the results after each run. Then they would try a new combo of wheels and do it again. |
 |
| It wasn't long before all the kiddos were watching them do their experiment! |
 |
| I loved how Ash wanted to be just like his big brothers :) |
 |
| And as he scribbled, he would say 65 or whatever the distance was...it was cute! |
