from a set height with the following constraints:

The landing carrier must:
1. Hit a target area on the planet
2. Protect the explorer (egg) during landing.
3. Allow the explorer to exit the lander to
conduct scientific excursions. (15 seconds
or less).
4. Nothing can be used on the floor (to
cushion)

Creating Your Community with Ozobot
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars
Overview:

After brainstorming a list of essential businesses and/or points of interest, each student will create a building from recycled cardboard. They will then decide a location to house the building in the city. There will also be waterways included.  Then in teams of 2-3 the students will use recycled materials to build a bridge to carry the ozobot through the city giving tours of important locations. The ozobot will need to be able to cross the bridge which will allow students to work through issues with force and motion.

Forces and Motion with Spheros
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars
Overview:

 Students are tasked with moving a 20 gram (or other low denomination) weight a distance of one meter using a “Sphero*” remote controlled robot.  Students use available materials to design and build a structure that will allow the sphero to push or pull the weight, while allowing for factors such as friction, direction, and gravity.   *Note: Although students can issue specific commands in the Sphero software, this activity only requires that they be able to “drive” the Sphero, thus providing the force to move the weight.

The Great Anchor Challenge
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars
Overview:

Students work in groups of 2 to create an anchor out of a collection of materials provided by the teacher. Students will test their anchors in an aquarium periodically to determine if their anchor has too much surface area, thus making it buoyant, or if the materials are combined in a way that is denser than the water causing the anchor to sink. The ultimate goal is to balance the forces being applied to the boat.  The anchor is attached to a 3d printed boat, or a boat of the teacher's choosing. A fan is directed at the boat after the anchor has been attached and dropped in the water. In addition to the wind, the teacher will create waves by tapping the side of the tank. Students will observe if the anchor holds under these circumstances or not. Ultimately, they will try to prevent the boat from moving at all. Distance traveled for each test will be taken by a meter stick or tape measure fixed to the side of the tank. Students will strive to keep the boat frozen at 0 centimeters.
