LEGO EDUCATION

http://education.lego.com/en-us

This site offers lots of resources for teachers, see what is included below:

  • COMPUTER SCIENCE. Programming for real. Intuitive, simple icon-based programming language and tools that encourages solutions design using algorithmic problem solving.
    Example: Define an algorithm to measure and control behaviour and process.
  • SCIENCE.  Learning by doing. Support classroom teaching by using LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education EV3 to collect real-time data to verify a hypothesis.
    Example: Carry out experiments designed to determine melting points – collect data samples with the temperature sensor and track and plot the results using the intuitive graphing environment.
  • TECHNOLOGY.  Actively engage students. Explore real-life application of technology to make analogies, identify relationships, predict outcome, analyze data and draw conclusions.
    Example: Explore design and functionality by building and programming the LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 to carry out controlled actions.
  • ENGINEERING. From idea to working prototype. Engage your students in practical, open-ended engineering challenges and open-ended problem solving.
    Example: Carry out a design process, from brief through testing and analysis to creating functional prototypes that can be easily modified to achieve design goals.
  • MATHEMATICS.  Bringing numbers alive. LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 is an ideal way to explore mathematical problems for real, making abstract concepts tangible and concrete.
    Example: Calculate the wheel circumference of your robot. Then program the robot to move a specific distance using the rotation sensor feedback multiplied by the circumference.

Primary School Teaching Resources

 

The 123HUB is a FREE resource bank and teaching community for primary school teachers. It has been designed to assist teachers in finding good quality online resources. Our aim is to take the effort and guesswork out of finding the best online resources that are available for the primary school curriculum. All of the resources on the 123HUB have been hand picked by teachers.

 

Now over 2500 quality teaching resources available!

 

 Our featured theme for January 2020 is Weather and Climate Change!

 

Weather and Climate Change. As we live on an island in Britain, we experience a wide range of weather and the weather that we are subjected to affects us all in many ways. The extreme weather we sometimes experience is often blamed, in the media, on global warming and climate change.  The threat to our planet, posed by climate change is very real and topical, with the melting of the ice caps, the recent global strikes by school students and the actions of Greta Thunberg regularly being reported in the press. It is certainly something that we need to be concerned about and is very worthy of further investigation.

 We have over 70 superb resources that help support this life threatening topic – together, they explore the following:

  • Weather and Climate
  • Water Cycle
  • Extreme Weather
  • Global Warming
  • Climate Change
  • How Humans can damage our environment and how we can all help.

The resources comprise of a mixture of: information, facts, research, hands-on activities, illustrations, games and video clips, as well as some detailed planning - each of which will successfully help to reinforce this extremely important topic

 

 

The featured theme is updated monthly during the academic year.

Watch out for our great 'Music' resources coming in February 2020!
