5. Computational Thinker

In this lesson, students will explore the key physics principles that govern the design and operation of street lighting systems. Through a hands-on engineering design challenge, students will apply

The students in this lab activity will play a competitive game with a small bouncy ball. The students will analyze the motion of the ball and apply projectile motion concepts. This activity requires

This lesson shows how to use VEX IQ robots in your classroom. There are links to the VEX free resources that can be used to help new or experienced robotics teachers.

In this lesson, the students will use the Sphero bots and the data they collected in previous lessons to create block-code to navigate a course for the Sphero Bolt to travel. The block code used is

Students will research and use math calculations to set up a classroom worm compost bin to compare to a classroom non-worm compost bin to be utilized for observation throughout the school year for

This lesson uses magnets, playing cards, metal washers, and a PhET simulation to model the effects of mass and distance as acting forces on objects in our solar system.

In this lesson the students will develop the code they previously planned out and will deploy their code to the drone. They will continue the process of reflection and iterative improvement. This is

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

This is a lesson where students will learn about the sensors that are integrated into their drones and how students can get a live feed of information from these sensors to aid in autonomous decision
