This lesson plan includes an introduction to torque and speed and how they will relate in the building of a VEX robot tractor. There are detailed instructions for starting a program in VEXCode V5 (very similar to EXP). Any kind of VEX parts can be used for the build.

This is an update to the previous Engineering notebook. I have added a Word document copy of the notebook. This is what I print out, comb bind, and give to my students every quarter for my STEM engineering classes. There is also a Publisher document, so that you can edit it to match what you do in your room, and put your personal touch on it. Enjoy.

This is a safety unit that I use before I let students touch my VEX robotics kits. Included are a PowerPoint presentation, note sheet for students to fill out during the PPT, a vocabulary puzzle, a robotics safety study guide, a robotics safety Jeopardy game, and the unit test (which students must pass to use my equipment). This unit covers basic safety rules and procedures, as well as the names of all the major parts of the VEX robotics kit. You will be able to edit any of the forms or presenta

This is a great template for your kids to fill in for any CSI report or Forensics unit that you teach. It comes as a Word document so that you can edit it to meet the needs of your students.

This worksheet goes with my general safety PowerPoint for Middle School hands-on classes.
