Lessons

Learning Promise

In this unit, your students will work as physicists and engineers, carrying out experiments to investigate phenomena, principles, and concepts involved in physical science and technology. Working in pairs, they’ll go through a series of lessons that use hands-on experiments to explore gear ratios, friction, and gravity. The unit concludes with an open-ended challenge, which provides an opportunity for students to apply their newly acquired skills and knowledge in creative ways.

Make an Autonomous Robotic Explorer — (Lesson 2)

Design, build and program a robotic system that follows a path and communicates its position at least twice along the way.

Design an autonomous vehicle that follows user-defined driving commands.

Make a Speed Control System — (Lesson 1)

Design a cruise control system that changes the speed of a vehicle when a button is pressed.

Design, build and program a machine that draws a pattern, performs the task accurately and repeats the task.

Learning Promise

In this unit, your students will work as scientists and engineers. They’ll immerse themselves in motivating STEAM activities that prompt creative problem-solving, communication, and teamwork. They’ll work on the Challenge Mat, an engaging and motivating platform where they’ll creatively apply their STEAM knowledge and expand their problem-solving skills as they develop their Space Challenge solutions.

Learning Promise

In this unit, your students will use the Driving Base as a modular platform for learning the basics of building and programming autonomous robots. Each lesson introduces a new extension to be built onto the Driving Base. These extensions enable it to detect obstacles, move objects, follow lines, and turn by precise angles. The unit ends with a factory-themed challenge that will put your students’ robotics skills to the test!

Make a ‘Pick and Place’ Robot — (Lesson 3)

Design, build and program a robotic system that can pick up an object from one location and place it in another location.

Design, build and program a machine that can identify at least three different colours of LEGO^® elements and sort them into separate locations.
