Students will use Spheros to explore the force and energy of moving objects. This lesson is appropriate for students and teachers with little to no experience with coding. Students will evaluate a single line of programming that directs the Sphero to move and test to see if they correctly anticipated the results. Students will bowl down "pins" by programming the Sphero. Students will experiment with changing variables and discuss how that changes the motion.

Technology has changed drastically - from smartphones to virtual reality. In this lesson, you will review the main types of Simple Machines. Through class discussions, your students will compare how both technology and simple machines have changed and are used differently than they were in the past. Your students will then explore and build examples of modern-day machinery.

Play with one or two pendulums and discover how the period of a simple pendulum depends on the length of the string, the mass of the pendulum bob, and the amplitude of the swing. It's easy to measure the period using the photogate timer. You can vary friction and the strength of gravity. Use the pendulum to find the value of g on planet X. Notice the anharmonic behavior at large amplitude.
