Mixing Science and Computer Science has never been easier! In this lesson you will use Root Robots for Computer science using 5.7 and 5.8 computing systems.Students will explore troubleshooting with technology while exploring force and motion with the Robots. In this all inclusive lesson students will use the Scientific Method to experiment with Root Bots with force and motion. Students will graph results, create a hypothesis, proceedure lists, research with they know about force and motion, and them create a conclusion all while exploring force and motion and computer science trouble shooting.  

HyperDocs are GoogleDocs that provide an interactive experience for students to explore linked resources about a topic.  This HyperDoc, created by Angela Wilson, provides students YouTube videos, interactive simulations, StudyJams, and games all about force, motion, and gravity.  **Please be sure to make a copy of the Doc before using.**

Video Description:  Simple machines are all around us and help make our work easier. When simple machines are combined, a compound machine is created. Learn about NASA's compound machine, the lunar crane, and the simple machines it contains to make work easier in Our World.  Video length:  4:17.NASA eClipsTM is a suite of online student-centered, standards-based resources that support instruction by increasing STEM literacy in formal and nonformal settings.  These free digital and downloadable resources inform and engage students through NASA-inspired, real-world connections.NASA eClips Our World videos (grades 3-5) help students understand the differences between science (the natural world) and engineering (the designed world).  These video segments supplement elementary learning objectives not only in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, but also in reading, writing, visual and performing arts.

In this exciting and interactive experiment, students will have the opportunity to discover and understand the relationship between force and mass regarding the movement of various-sized balls. Through the use of Spheros, these ingenious devices will enable students to apply force to balls of different sizes, including the wiffle ball, racquetball, softball, and ping pong ball. By observing the fascinating dynamics at play, students will gain invaluable insights into how force and mass influence the trajectory, speed, and overall movement of these balls. This hands-on activity is sure to spark curiosity and foster a deeper appreciation for the principles of physics in a fun and engaging manner.

Learn about the thrill of force and motion with a Sphero Bolt Race, obstacle course, and ramps.

If you want an easy way to review Scientific Method, along with Force and Motion here is the best lesson for you. Using ‘Hot Wheels’ you will be identifying IV, DV, and constants. You will also be reviewing kinetic energy, potential energy, motion, speed, force, and friction.

This resource consists of two experiments focusing on the transfer on energy. Thermal, kinetic, and potential energy are discussed during these slides. This product is intended to be used in front of the class through a guided lesson format. However, the two experiments used in these slides use minimal materials and could be conducted by the students by the class before, or after, using this series of Google Slides.
