Abstract
This research was conducted to gather information about the impact of usingLEGO
MINDSTORMS NXT ROBOT in science on sixth grade students in primary schools, the need
ofit in education, its advantages, disadvantages, hardware and software used to develop it and
whether it fits with the physiological and cognitive developments characteristics of the students.
The participants attended a LEGO robotic training programin three science experiments to
study the motion, distance and speed principles. The researchers applied a science test, a
student's questionnaire, a teacher's interview and a teacher's interview scale to gather the
needed information. The results show that the LEGO robot is an efficient technology in teaching
science, increases the students' academic achievement as the science test results show and the
findings emphasize that this robot is a valuable technology in education and in primary schools
as it develops the 21st century skills of the students.
