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 exciting lesson, students will use the engineering design process to devise an alternative method for retrieving the shield of Ares from Hephaestus' trap, as depicted in Chapter 15 of "Percy
In this outstanding lesson, students will explore circuitry through working collaboratively to build a working floor piano out of simple materials. Students explore the engineering design process by
This is the 1st lesson in a series of 2 where students are guided through an introduction to designing apps with MIT App Inventor. Students will brainstorm ideas for their own apps, follow tutorials
