Showing 10 experiments that use the //code.Node Cart.
Computational Modeling: Force on Impact
Students will investigate the relationship between force and acceleration as well as create a mathematical...
The Need for Speed
Students will program a //code.Node cart to react to another //code.Node cart based on its speed.
Crash Test: Impact Alert System
Students will work through the computational thinking process to create an impact alert system using Blockly, a //code.Node, and a //code.Node cart.
Investigating Odometers
Students will calculate the circumference of the //code.Node cart wheels. Students will then use the computational thinking process to apply this information...
3-2-1 Launch!
Students work through the computational thinking process to create an alert system as to when to launch their //code.Node cart. Additionally, students...
Engineering Turn Signals
Students work through the computational thinking process to create a program that mimics how a turn signal works on a vehicle using Blockly, a //code.Node,...
Weight Drop Launch
Students will investigate how a weight drop launch style of roller coaster works using a //code.Node Cart. Additionally, they will create a Blockly program...
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 programs.
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 stop....
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.
