In this lesson students work in collaborative groups to collect, represent, and interpret numerical data that they generate by using Sphero robots to knock down bowling pins!
In this lesson, students will use a bot (Beebot/Shero Indi, etc) to show their understanding of decoding and sight words.
In this lesson students engineer ramps and race monster trucks. Students estimate and measure distances traveled and then organize and visually represent this data in a graph.
These resources were provided by Moore County. Teams will get 30 minutes to engineer something for their robot to accomplish a task. After that, teams will have 30 minutes to program their robot to complete the task. This competition is only for K-2 students. Each school may send up to 4 Dash teams to the Elementary showcase.
Project Summary
In this lesson students will learn about electromagnetic energy through a female engineer who invented frequency hopping that is used by so many devices we use daily. Students will explore and solve a real world problem by designing a device to block or build a stronger Wi-Fi signals. Each team will record their work with Flip.
Driving Questions / Scenario (what are we trying to solve or improve?)
What is the electromagnetic spectrum?
Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum does Wi-Fi use?
What materials do you think will block a Wi-Fi signal? What materials do you think will let a Wi-Fi signal pass through?

Standard(s) Addressed
Sc- - 6.P.1 Understand the properties of waves and the wavelike property of energy in earthquakes, light and sound. 6.P.3 Understand characteristics of energy transfer and interactions of matter and energy.
ISTE - 1.1.b, 1.2.b, 1.3.d, 1.4.a-d, 1.5.b, 1.6.d,1.7.d, 1.7.c
In this lesson, students use their knowledge of sound energy to create a soundproof box to protect a secret code word! Students measure and graph decibels to determine how well their boxes omit sounds!
In this lesson students create large story maps to retell and familiar text. Students record themselves and place QR codes along the story map. Students then code Sphero Robots, dressed as main characters, to make their way through each part of the story.
