Big Circle 2 Lesson Plan
Big Circle 2 Lesson Plan
The learner will key in 10 lines of code and learn a new way (Rotate Forward) use a math formula to rotate the wheel 7 times. (360*7)
Math in code. We can use math formulates with in the robot code.
RotateFoward and RotateBackward is another way to get the wheels to move.
When the speed of the two motors are different the robot moves in a curve.
The learner can vary the speed of the two motors. What happens?
The learner can vary the numbers in the math formula (360*7) Ask them what do they think those number mean. (360 degrees in a circle, 7 is the number of times the wheel goes in a full circle.
One part of the assessment can be the accuracy of the code. When programing it is very important to get it just right. Ask the student to define key terms introduced in this lesson. Make a rubric to measure creativity.
