LEGO Education Science is a new science-focused LEGO set and educational tool, with LEGO’s signature bricks playing the literal building blocks of hands-on science experiments and lessons. Designed for K–8 students, LEGO Education Science engages children in science through building with LEGO bricks, along with guided lessons exploring dozens of scientific concepts.
LEGO Education’s Science kits include more than 120 differentiated lessons across three grade ranges (K–2, 3–5, 6–8) that can be explored using just the materials in the box. Building with LEGO is a central part of each lesson, but it is also a gateway for making sometimes difficult scientific concepts easy—and fun—for students to grasp.
Each lesson involves building something with LEGO pieces and then using what was built to explore a specific scientific concept or phenomenon, from momentum to structural stability to biomorphology. The kits are designed to be used in groups of four students, with an online component that teachers can use to guide the lesson, which typically starts with a playful scenario or storyline and often features a familiar LEGO minifigure.
For example, “Lemonade Shake,” a lesson about earthquakes intended for students in grades 3–5, involves a LEGO character with a lemonade stand. Students put the lemonade stand on a shake table and connect it to a small motor included in the kit. When the motor is turned on, the lemonade glasses tumble to the ground. Students then attempt to design and build their own lemonade stand that could better withstand the seismic force of another earthquake.
All the lessons are aligned to Next Generation Science Standards, with additional mapping to individual states for relevant and robust learning in all 50 states.
The new LEGO Education Science Kits will be ready to ship starting August 1, 2025.
