Going on a Westward Journey with Edison Robots
Use the Edison robots to tell a story from the perspective of an immigrant/emigrant moving through the US during the time period of 1700-to 1900 as it fits 5th grade Social Science Standards. Students must research a story, write a narrative detailing push/pull factors and challenges of the journey. Then students will code their robot to tell the story and present a final presentation to an audience. Can be adapted for other historical themes or literature with the driving question: What happens when you leave your home for a new place?

This lesson teaches students what coding actually is and how it enables us to program robots to do specific tasks. Using a simulated coding activity, students will begin to understand how coding works
Students will create a Google slideshow presentation to document their progress through the engineering design process, which includes: researching the science of sound, then creating an instrument
Students will redesign the front face of the school, to improve the curb appeal. Students will identify space by using math equations to properly create a plan for school makeover. Students will use
