Lesson Sample: Bank & Hospital
In our Spring 2013 LEGO® Civics Class, kids learned about checking, saving, deposit, ATM, and loan. They build up their own bank with everything inside: the teller, waiting line, changing machine, double security door, security camera, ATM, alarm system, and the table to talk about loan.
In the Hospital lesson, they learned about different types of hospitals, emergency room, operating room, and people at the hospital. Based on what they have learned, they built a Pediatrics with hospital logo, nursery room, waiting room, and wheel chair in LEGO® City.
