Teachers can use Toyineer projects to address selected Alabama Science and Mathematics standards through hands-on mechanical construction.
Alignment reviewed October 2026.
Standards and evidence.
These alignments use only the ordinary Toyineer construction process. They do not depend on a separate extension activity.
I. Alabama Course of Study: Science — Motion and Stability
KindergartenStandard 1
Investigate how forces of different strengths and directions affect an object's motion, including changes in speed, direction and distance traveled.
Learners directly push and pull levers, followers and other moving parts during assembly and testing. Changing the strength or direction of the applied force produces visible changes in how the mechanism moves.
Grade 3Standard 1
Investigate and explain the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on an object while varying the size, number or direction of the forces.
Toyineer mechanisms make the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces visible. Learners can observe parts at rest, apply an external force, and explain why a mechanism starts moving, stops or changes direction.
II. Alabama Course of Study: Mathematics — Geometry
KindergartenStandard 20
Identify shapes as two-dimensional (flat) or three-dimensional (solid).
Every Toyineer build begins with flat printed components and turns them into three-dimensional structures, giving educators a direct physical example of the distinction between 2-D and 3-D form.
Grade 1Standard 22
Compose two-dimensional or three-dimensional shapes to create a larger composite shape.
Learners combine separate cut, folded and assembled components into larger structures and ultimately into one composite mechanical object.
Teachers can use Toyineer projects to address these standards. Students also gain skill in their use of tools and appreciate the importance of accuracy in engineering.
