The concern of “how high can a LEGO tower get?” is an enjoyable timely for diving into discussions about mathematics and physics. Before showing trainees the video or the post pointed out above, I d have them make guesses regarding the response then draw up lists of the variables that they can think about that would influence how high the tower might get. After they see the video I d have a little class contest to see who can build the tallest tower with the LEGOs offered in my classroom.

The comic and the short article triggered me to turn to YouTube for videos about constructing giant LEGO towers. The video explains the math that was utilized by scientists at The Open University to figure how high a LEGO tower would get before the blocks collapsed under their own weight. Before revealing students the video or the article pointed out above, I d have them make guesses as to the answer then write out lists of the variables that they can think of that would affect how high the tower could get. After they watch the video I d have a little class contest to see who can develop the highest tower with the LEGOs offered in my classroom.

The video describes the math that was used by researchers at The Open University to figure how high a LEGO tower would get before the blocks collapsed under their own weight. Of course, the mathematical response presumes that the tower would not topple over before reaching its optimal height.

While getting captured up on my reading in Feedly this morning I came throughout a.
brand-new comic from The Oatmeal. The comic addresses the question, “how high can a LEGO tower get?” (Its a copyright-protected work so youll have to see it on The Oatmeal site). The comic is based on a 2012 BBC article titled.
How Tall Can a LEGO Tower Get? The comic and the short article triggered me to rely on YouTube for videos about constructing giant LEGO towers. YouTube did not disappoint me in my search for videos that explain the math and physics highlighted in the BBCs short article and The Oatmeals comic..
