In this slideshow, students will get a basic understanding of what makes something a robot compared to a basic machine. Then they will see pictures of robots that they may encounter in their daily lives and identify the key components that make it a robot.

This activity goes along with the Dr. Seuss Yertle the Turtle book. Students use the Engineering process while trying to create the tallest tower they can for Yertle to sit on. Included is the challenge itself and a graphic organizer for the Engineering Process.

In this activity, students drag and drop basic coding terms and their definitions. This can be used in Google Classroom or printed and used as a cut and glue activity.
