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.
Step Counter
Students will use either the acceleration-y or acceleration-x //code.Node sensor and knowledge of their own gait to create a program that mimics a step...
Light Bulb Efficiency
Students apply their understanding of energy transfer and transformation to investigate and compare the efficiencies of two different light bulbs.
Automatic Nightlight
Students apply their understanding of light behavior to create a program that functions like a nightlight as well as investigating brightness (amplitude)...
Magnetic Polarity
Students create a program, using the //code.Node magnetic field sensor, that will determine the polarity of a bar magnet.
Blockly Extension: pH
In this activity, students create a Blockly program that displays a solution's pH alongside a text description of the solution (base, acid, or neutral).
Waves and Energy
Students learn that sound is produced by vibrating objects, that sound travels from a source through air, solids, and liquids, and its loudness depends...
Forces and Interactions
Students will investigate the relationship between force and acceleration. Newton's first law and and second law will also be explored.
