Teachers will be introduced to the VEX V5 Robotic Platform. We will start with an Introduction to robotics and how robotics is used in industry. Students will understand the key resources they will be
This lesson plan focuses on Torque, assuming prior knowledge of Rotational motion, angular velocity, angular acceleration, Newton's Laws for linear motion. It also introduces Newton's laws for
This lesson assumes prior knowledge of basic electricity and magnetism concepts and focuses deeply on Induction. Levels adjusted 9 - 12, dual enrollment and AP Physics.
In this hands-on lesson, students create solid fuel rockets to explore the idea of parabolic motion and outside factors which can affect the path of a rocket. This lesson has enrichment involving the
In this engaging lesson, students will connect the path of a straw rock to the arc of a parabola. By changing the angle of the launcher, they will discover the relationship between distance and height
In this lesson students will be able to create an identified x and y-axes and be able to plot how stars fit onto the diagram. Stars have properties (listed on the activity) and will fit into the chart
This is a fun unit that will discuss drones and building an obstacle course created by students to fly the drones through.
This lesson allows robotics students to redesign a working floor vacuum and design it to fit the needs of a robotics lab - it should be able to pick up heavier and larger objects or loose parts off
It can be challenging to sort through the various robot options out in the market for educators. This lesson is for educators who have used robots or are new to using robots. The intention is to use
After becoming familiar with the factors that affect lift from the previous Flight Basics lesson and going over key weather concepts from this lesson, students will be expected to make a device to
Students will dive into the fascinating world of parasitology as they collaborate in teams of three to analyze and evaluate the presence of parasites. The lesson aims to enhance both teamwork and
Student will be able to compare the energy content of two common fuels used for energy production (ethanol and kerosene). Students will work with a partner to investigate the efficiency and
Student learn to code robots using VEXs free VEX VR code.
Structured activities to support learning up Quantum Model as improvement over traditional "solar system" atomic model, or Bohr's atomic model. Students learn to relate Quantum numbers to describe
Upon completion of this lesson, the student should know: • The relationship between Bernoulli's Principle and Newton’s Laws of Motion and how they were used to develop a machine that could fly. • The
Students learn about the chemistry that exists in some of the world's oldest surviving paintings. This lesson is the final part of a 3 part painting series, and focuses on binding agents in paint
Students will survey the area around their school for Buffelgrass.
Students use a 2-D physics sandbox, called Algodoo, to simulate the factors that might affect the period of a circular orbit of a planet about a star. Students develop Kepler's 3rd Law conceptually by
Create potential for masses or charges. Students get to create 3D models of these potential and gain a deeper qualitative representation of why masses or charge move towards lowest potential.
This project allows students to research and "sell" the Sharks and their competitors on their energy or fuel source. A strong emphasis on research is embedded with the ability to interject with daily
This set of lessons allows students to model the decay chains of radioactive isotopes and relate the mathematical patterns and scientific concepts together in a innovative and interactive way.
An investigation into the function and uses of solar panels in agriculture - Agrivoltaics. Exploring how to get the most efficient use of your solar panels for your gardens.
