Developing Predictive Models
by Amanda Sibley
In this lesson students will collect data on the performance of their drone. Students will design a systematic process of data collection that will then lead to the development of a predictive model that they can use to predict a power and time duration that would be required to move the drone through a constructed maze. The purpose of this lesson is for students to strategically collect data and look for a regular pattern that can be used to describe that pattern. This will ultimately not be efficient enough to accurately control the drone which will then require learning about coding and sensor integration.
This is lesson 5 in the coding drones lesson sequence.

This lesson is an activity to show how projectile motion and many other motions in nature fallow a parabolic curve. Students will manipulate that knowledge and analyze data using small play tanks to

I use this lesson as a fun activity to visualize unit conversions and the immense scale of the universe. I love this lesson because I find it challenging to teach unit conversions with hands-on
