Planet of the Robots
by nichole bartel
In this fun lesson, students create models of the Earth, sun, moon, and planets that can go on robots. They experiment with light and movement to demonstrate the rotation of sun, earth, and moon using Edison robots. The learning continues as they document the models with pictures and create a book to explain and teach what they have learned using the pictures!
