Many attempts have been made to solve the problem that a lot of pupils and students are moving away from the science in Japan. However, no satisfactory solution has been presented so far. For example, in the high school that one of the authors works for, only 〜20% of 11th grade students choose the course with more emphasis on science-related subjects. In the senior high school physics, which is likely to be considered hard to understand and not preferable to choose by students, we developed a lesson plan of dynamics using LEGO Mindstorms so that students would have a happier time in having the class. According to the plan, we actually gave dynamics class whose purpose is to derive Newton's second law of motion, one of the important formulae of dynamics, from experimental data. We consider that LEGO Mindstorms has the potentiality to be used as dynamics teaching material much more widely because it includes programmable blocks to control its motion. We report how to use LEGO Mindstorms in a dynamics class and also how effective its use is to the students' understanding.
