Education objectives
The objectives of this programme are to give
your group the opportunity to:
·
Be introduced to aspects of forces that
affect movement.
·
Understand how gravity, mass and
friction affect the speed of an object.
·
Experience and explore how they are
used through Hands On activities.
·
Relate Hands On activities in the
workshop to the experience of the
attractions in LEGOLAND
®
Windsor.
Different activities are built into the
programme to enable pupils to work at their
own pace and according to their individual
needs.
Although rides and attractions cannot be
reserved, your school party is encouraged to
enjoy the Eyes On and Body On activities
before and/or after the workshop. There are
some height restrictions on the rides so it is
advisable to check these before you visit. If
your group has special needs requirements
there is a guide available that will help you
make the most of your visit.

Movement cont...
Force is required to provide motion, alter direction,
change speed and even stop.
There are different types of force that can cause an
object to move. One force that is always present is
gravity. Gravity is constantly pulling things towards
the centre of the Earth.
Forces can be:
·
static or balanced (weight on top of an object)
