Curated OER
Roaming Robot
Students give directions to help a classmate find an object. In this direction lesson, students tell the finder where to travel and how many steps to take. More difficult directions include angled turns.
Curated OER
Roller Coaster Robot
Students calculate the area under a curve. In this calculus instructional activity, students use Riemann sums to find and approximate the area under a curve. They use the derivative and differential equations to solve.
Curated OER
Robot Sketcher
Students analyze and solve word problems. In this algebra activity, students explore their reasoning skills as they analyze a problems and come up with the correct steps to solve it. They create a plan and execute it correctly.
Curated OER
Robot Area
Students calculate the area of different polygons. In this geometry instructional activity, students explore polygons based in their shape and number of sides. They find the formula for the area and use each specific formula for each shape.
Curated OER
Normal (dip-slip) Earthquake!
Students label the fault lines and tectonic plate boundaries on the world map. In this earth science lesson, students simulate ocean floor formation using CEENboTs. They explain the causes of earthquakes.
Curated OER
Planetary Terrain
Students research the unique features of their assigned planet. In this astronomy lesson, students organize their findings and present it to class. They recreate planetary terrain and use CEENBoT to drive over it.

TECH:Introduction to Programming (IT)
Students complete an activity that illustrates the concepts of giving accurate instructions and computer programming. They also identify the relationship of the instructions/code to computer programming. Students then create a peanut...
Curated OER
What Does Time Have to Do with it?
Students investigate time. In this investigative lesson, students run through an obstacle course using standard timers. They record the time and apply this knowledge to problems in math. Students record their predictions, and graph...
Curated OER
Congruence with Robot Gobot
Students identify the properties of solids and polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify the different measurements of a triangle. They use congruence parts and theorem to prove their answer.
Curated OER
Robots
Fourth graders devise and use problem solving strategies to explore situations mathematically (guess and check, make a drawing, use equipment). The use of logical reasoning is a focus of this instructional activity.

Sensors, Sensors…..Everywhere! Middle School Meteorologist Create Weather Bots!
My forecast is that you'll want to use the resource. Pupils design and create a weather bot as part of a project-based unit. These bots should be able to measure temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, and...
Curated OER
What's That?
Meant to be a simulation of a deep-sea exploration, this requires that another lesson be completed first. In that lesson, titled "Animals of the Lost City," marine biology buffs construct murals of benthic communities. In this lesson,...

Self-Assessment: Habits of Effective Readers, Writers, Speakers, Listeners, and Viewers
Fifth graders study how to read fluently. In this reading lesson, 5th graders practice reading and recording any miscues. Students time each other and graph their progress each day.
Curated OER
Robots
Students explore the two kinds of fluids: liquids and gases. They explain that liquids (water), unlike gases (air), cannot be compressed. This property makes them ideal for hydraulic work applications.
