The constraints in this build are the point in the learning. Students will use this method as a good self check to see where they are in their learning.
Have them reflect on the following
1. What do I already know? This is what they build!
2. What don't I know? This is the part that helps them visually see what they are not able to construct. Have them make notes on the paper or use Post-Its to label their learning.
3. Have students rotate around to have students explain their builds. When students ask questions they don't have answers to, then this is a good time to capture that question and continue to develop their learning.
You could have them continue to build over time if you have enough LEGO pieces so they can visually see their learning grow and develop.
