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)

This lesson is modeled after STEMAzing's lesson, "Picture Perfect Rover Cell Phone Holder”. Students will build a cell phone holder for their Edison Bot, plan a drive for the Bot to collect photos or
In this lesson, students will apply their knowledge from the prior day's lesson (Magnetic Marble Run Newton's Laws of Motion Day 1), to complete an Advanced Build of a Magnetic Marble Run. This lesson
In this engaging lesson, students will learn about genetics and create their own characters in which they will find a mate and create an offspring. They will use traits and Punnett Squares to create
