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)

Students will use the materials provided to engineer a vehicle that is powered by a robot and deliver a treat to a chosen location. Students will use the robots you have. I use Sphero and Edison
Unleash creativity with drones and coding! Explore the exciting world of block coding and its application in drone technology.
This is a multiple-day lesson plan based on Newton's 3 Laws of Motion. Students begin the lesson by collecting data observing coins moving across a table. After making the observations, students will
