After the students made their monster reports

 we made a trundle wheel for measuring.

Compare our LEGO building work area with the one on the ISS.

Today we made a trundle wheel for measuring.
LEGO® Education has partnered with NASA to create an educational program designed
to inspire the exploration of science, technology, engineering, and math!

Through the LEGO Bricks in Space program, students work with astronauts
on board the International Space Station (ISS) to conduct activities
that test the effects of microgravity on simple machines.

A total of eight LEGO Education activities will be conducted on the ISS as astronauts record their results through video and crew commentary.
Each video will then be uploaded to www.LEGOspace.com and will include a downloadable teacher's guide
and student worksheet so classrooms can complete the same activity on Earth and compare results with the ISS crew.
The first activity in the series is measuring with trundle with the simple machine set.
