One-Dimensional Free Body Diagrams with Robots
Summary: Students are coding and observing robots to try and determine all forces acting on the robot.
Materials;
Robots that can be coded to move in different ways.
Laptops to code.
Agenda
The teacher will introduce the concepts of a push and a pull (10 minutes)
The teacher will give students time to connect robots and explore how to make the robot move forward and backward. (20 minutes)
The teacher will then handout the free body diagram handout.
Students will work on adding the codes suggested and discussing all the forces acting on the robot (25 min)
Students will then hypothesize what the motion would be like in a world where no forces would be slowing the robot down. (25 min)

In this hands-on engineering and science project, students will become earthquake engineers tasked with designing and constructing earthquake-proof structures using toothpicks and mini marshmallows
Student learn to code robots using VEXs free VEX VR code.
The Parachute design lesson involves students learning about the engineering design process, air resistance, and parachute principles before planning and constructing their own parachutes. Through
