Connect<br />

It is imp<strong>or</strong>tant to capture students’ interest in <strong>or</strong>der to have a<br />

positive and motivating learning environment. LEGO Education<br />

activities always begin with an engaging challenge introduced<br />

through real-life video clips, photos, st<strong>or</strong>ies, animations, etc. which<br />

students can relate to and find compelling.<br />

Contemplate<br />

In this phase, students think about what they have just constructed<br />

and achieved. They discuss the project at hand, reflect on and<br />

adapt their ideas, and teachers can encourage this process by<br />

asking questions.<br />

Activities with<br />

Natural Flow<br />

Activity Packs from LEGO ® Education are developed by experienced<br />

educat<strong>or</strong>s and have a natural flow that engages and motivates<br />

students. We call it the 4C approach. It consists of four phases:<br />

Connect, Construct, Contemplate, and Continue.<br />

Construct<br />

Students w<strong>or</strong>k in teams to solve an open-ended building task<br />

related to the challenge. They make their own solutions and plan,<br />

build and test their models <strong>or</strong> software program<br />

Continue<br />

Extension ideas are provided that present a new challenge within<br />

the same theme. Students are encouraged to change <strong>or</strong> add<br />

features to their models, thereby leading them to a new Connect<br />

phase. This allows them to enter a positive learning spiral, in which<br />

they take on increasingly difficult challenges.<br />
