LEGO® Education SPIKE Essential Lessons
Grade 1-2
UNIT 1 / LEARNING PROMISE:
This unit introduces your students to computational thinking. They’ll begin to understand what a sequence is, be able to follow
instructions to create a sequence, and describe the sequence to their peers. They’ll learn how to break problems down into smallerparts, identify cause and effect, and understand simple loops. Finally, they’ll explore the process of testing and debugging programs
to ensure that their programs work as intended.
Your students find ways of helping the main characters, and practice recounting an experience using relevant details. This will help todevelop their collaborative conversation skills.

UNIT 4 / LEARNING PROMISE:
This unit will develop your students’ understanding of energy, energy transfer, and collision. They’ll explore ways of using observation
skills as they anticipate the outcomes of changes in energy during a collision, describe the relationship between energy and speed, andpredict how energy moves from place to place. They’ll also broaden their understanding of energy conversion (potential and kinetic)by investigating a solution that converts energy from one form to another, testing the solution to improve and refine its function.
Your students will improve their communication skills as they engage in a range of collaborative discussions about energy, energy
transfer, and collision.
