Wheels and Distance September 2, 2015

Presentation

This week's presentation is located here.


Outline
  1. Go over presentation which includes:
    • Lego ruler and demo
    • Default ports review
    • Move Tank review
    • Wheels size, circumference, and distance traveled - How to calculate
    • Base vs. Safety on the playing field
  2. Review mission models and missions. Use Sticky Notes to label mission models. Sometimes the mission model name and the mission have the same name but most of the time there are two names to learn.  See pages 10-13 and 23-25 of the Challenge doc.
  3. Project and Team Building.
  4. Do the Discovery lessons in Chapter 5 of the EV3 Discovery Book. (We didn't get to this.)
Homework

Read Chapters 6 and 7 of the EV3 Discovery Book.  Separate post on the project homework coming next.  I'm also taking turns sending home Idea and Building books with the kids.  These books will help the kids build the attachments the robot needs to manipulate the mission models.  Please send the books back to the following meeting.  Joshua, Jacob, and Luke have books this week.

What's Next

Do the Discovery lessons in Chapters 5, 6 and 7 of the EV3 Discovery Book. This will get out through movement AND sensors including Touch and Color.
