Train to Win

Build an obstacle course for dogs! Describe the push and pull forces that are at work. This lesson will help to familiarise your pupils with the contents of the LEGO^® Education BricQ Motion Essential Set. We recommend taking some time before the lesson to show your pupils what is beneath the white tray, and to explain that the bricks are sorted by colour. The pupils will find the building instructions books under the tray. They will only need book ‘A’ for this unit.
