Students work together to measure the lengths and angles of a maze in order to create a scale drawing of it. They then use EdScratch to program their Edison robots to navigate the maze.
In this lesson, students are challenged to design and test a windsock that can tell the direction and relative speed of the wind.
After students collected authentic data from their class and defined the problem related to trash, students follow through with solving the problem using the engineering process. In the second half of
