Build with WeDo 2.0

Part names and primary functions

As students use the bricks, you may want to discuss 
proper vocabulary as well as functions for each part in 
the set.

•   Some of them are structural parts that hold a model 

together.

•   Some parts are connectors that link elements to 

each other.

•  Some parts are used to produce movement.

 Important

Remember that these categories are guidelines. 
Some parts have many functions and can be used in 
many ways.

 Suggestion

Use the compartment tray when sorting the parts in 
the WeDo 2.0 storage box. This will help you and your 
students when viewing and counting the parts.
