Wigglebots

Wigglebots!

Wigglebots were a huge hit with our classes this past year! After you teach them about series circuits, pull out the Wigglebot kit, and watch the magic happen!! This great idea and the resources come from Kidder Canada. Check out the video link to see Wigglebots in action:

STEM with Wigglebots:

  • You can race your Wigglebots, which will bring some math into the fun! Set up a race track using metre sticks to keep the Wigglebots on track, and time their races! I showed my students how to calculate the speed of their Wigglebots by calculating distance/time - in cm per second and m per second. Cool math!!!

STEAM with Wigglebots:

  • You can design Wigglebots to be Doodlebots! Our students added markers to the legs and let them draw on large pieces of chart paper! They loved trying to figure out ways to make their Doodlebots go in circles or in straight lines to make patterns and designs!
