I had my students complete this project to supplement our PLTW module on potential and kinetic energy. For this project students are asked to design a rollercoaster on paper and label points where there is kinetic or potential energy. Included in this product are: -Rollercoaster project description and rubric -Check off list to give students -PPT editable version Fonts used: KG Lego House -KG Shake it Off Click HERE to see how to open a Zip file!

Students will pick ONE category of robots (aerospace, telepresence, military/defense, humanoid, etc.), then choose one robot from that category to present on. The project is pretty self explanatory. This files includes a description of the project for students, a rubric for the group project, and a handout/grade sheet for when students

I used this in my classroom during my 5th grade Robotics unit. This was used as an introduction to robots and a way for students to get some background research by using the Robots App. I had students make a K-W-L chart on the Popplet app first, and do the 'K'and 'W' parts in partners on one of their iPads. Students were then presented with the essential questions, so that they could keep those in mind as they did research. Students will work to find a definition of robots, study a history/ti

This is a bundle of two other products that I have: Robots for App Scavenger Hunt (Introduction), and a group research project. Both activities require the Robot for Ipad App (it's free). (Link to the app: http://robotsapp.spectrum.ieee.org/) They were both super engaging for my 5th graders during our introduction to robotics. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Introduction-to-Robotics-Robots-App-Scavenger-Hunt-PLTW-2799984 https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Robot-App-Researc
