Re:Legos
[email protected]
I saw a link somewhere recently--maybe here? for weirdrichard.com, a lego
lesson plan building site. Cool site.
But I am confused about what legos we need for most of these types of plans.
They recommend the AOE (about 20 K) or eventures for homeschoolers (6K a
year!)
Any suggestions? Do they have to be Dacta, or are regular Legos okay if you
already have the lesson plans? Any suggestions as to kits/where to buy?
Thanks!

~2000 B.C. - Here, eat this root.
1000 A.D. - That root is heathen. Here, say this prayer.
1850 A.D. - That prayer is superstition. Here, drink this potion.
1940 A.D. - That potion is snake oil. Here, swallow this pill.
1985 A.D. - That pill is ineffective. Here, take this antibiotic.
2000 A.D. - That antibiotic is artificial. Here, eat this root. ~

We use just regular legos we already have (seems like thousands some
days). Yesterday we did weirdrichard's lesson on figuring volume of
a rectagular prism. Fun time for my 11 yo and a 12 yo friend. We
also worked on surface area. He also has a lesson on using lego
wheels to teach about pi and circumference. The boys took this and
applied it to all the wheels in the house.

It's also cool because when you open it up and lay it out on the floor, you
can sift thru the pieces and find the little ones more easily. Ever try to find
a clear plastic antennae lego piece in a big bin? lol Oy!
