3rd Grade

The 3rd grade project focuses on creating a colony on the moon. It is a group project where research, problem identification, and creative solutions are a must.

Students work together to research the moon and decide which problem related to living on the moon they would like to solve. They sketch their solutions, create LEGO models of their solutions, and motorize some aspect of the model using LEGO WeDo robots. The project is based on FIRST LEGO League Jr Mission Moon.

Please see team pages for more information about their problems, solutions, and models.
