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)

A Shocking Dystopia: STEM Adventures in The City of Ember Part 3 of 4: A Problem in the Greenhouse
This lesson is PART 3 of a four-lesson unit, which focuses on futures thinking, the phenomenon of electricity, closed-system agriculture, and water as a renewable energy resource. “The City of Ember”
This is an introduction to coding and computer science by way of making and design, using the revolutionary new micro:bit microcontroller board. The bootcamp lesson is designed to help everyone
Students observe particle movement for solids, liquids, and gases. They then write Pseudocode for coding particle behavior and then they code particle movement on Scratch for the three states/phases
