Lego Lab

Working together each group created a Lego object. Within each group students were given identical blocks and a random number of blocks- different from the other groups. They needed to find the mass of one block and then estimate the mass of all blocks together. 
After that, each group created a Lego object using all of their blocks. Then they found the mass. Students had to use math to help them find the mass of their Lego object and also find the difference between their estimate and their object. 
Following that part of the experiment, each group disassembled their object, made a new estimate and weighed the pieces on their mass scale. 
Today we will take a look at our findings, compare them and see if the Legos' weighed the same before and after.
