Speed and Velocity
Students will investigate speed and velocity using the //code.Node Cart. Using the data they collect, they will create a two Blockly challenge...
Crash Test: Velocity and Inertia
Students will explore Newton's laws of motion using the //code.Node Cart to measure velocity and observing what occurs when it comes to a sudden...
Wheels: Diameter and Distance
Students will calculate the circumference of the //code.Node Cart wheels in order to solve problems as well as create two Blockly coding programs.
Locating an Earthquake Epicenter
Students model earthquake P and S waves using Smart Carts connected to a Smart Cart Motor. They measure the known speed of the carts and the...
Testing Coulomb's Friction Model
Students will use a Smart Cart with a Smart Cart Motor and friction block to measure the force of kinetic friction at various constant speeds....
Vector Components of Velocity
Students explore the relationship between the velocity of an object and its vector components. They use a Smart Cart with a Smart Cart Motor...
Relative Motion
The purpose of this lab is to study motion relative to a moving reference frame. The velocity of a Smart Cart as measured by the cart's motion...
Graph Matching
In this lab, the velocity of a Smart Cart Motor is controlled by a Blockly program using an equation of motion.Students change the initial velocity...
Average and Instantaneous Velocity
In this activity, students use a Smart Cart Motor attached to a Smart Cart to investigate the differences and relationship between average velocity...
Smart Cart Meetup
Students collect data of the speed of a Smart cart powered by a Smart Cart Motor as a function of the power setting. They use the data to create...
