Abstract

This article examines the use of LEGO bricks as a tool for modeling physics phenomena in laboratory courses. The author provides examples of how LEGO bricks can be used to represent various concepts in physics, such as parabolic trajectories and oscillation graphs. The article also discusses the benefits of using LEGO bricks for inquiry-based learning and fostering students' comprehension and creativity in physics. While the author emphasizes the pedagogical value of LEGO bricks in physics education, they acknowledge the need for further research in this area. The article concludes by clarifying that it is not funded or sponsored by the LEGO company. [Extracted from the article]
