Scientific Inquiry Using Lego Robots

My students need a set of Lego Wedo 2.0 robots in order to further their science and technology inquiry.

My Students

My students walk into Inquiry Lab, smiles on their face, because the robots are out to play with. I hear questions like, "Do we get to play with them?, What can we build?, Is this really what we are doing today?" All the while, their eyes are getting bigger and bigger with excitement because they don't get to play with robots at home or in their other classes.

At my school, students have access to technology but many do not have the resources at home.

All students receive free breakfast and lunch. Many students receive a backpack full of food on the weekends. Some also go clothes shopping periodically throughout the year.

With all of these obstacles in their way, my students still love to be at school and love to come to my class. They want to explore, create, and invent things. Inquiry Lab allows them to do all of those things.

My Project

My students will be using the Lego WeDo 2.0 robots to explore different science topics by making robots based on a science topic and then researching that topic after they build the robot. One of the robots they can create is an earthquake simulator. After they build the simulator, they will research the causes of earthquakes and how much force it takes to knock down different sizes of buildings.

Most of my students have probably used legos at home, but very few have never transformed their creations into robots.

They will see that their lego creations can be related to science topics all around them. This lego kit will also help a group of students work together.

I will put them in small groups and they will have to assign themselves roles in the group, so that no one is doing all the work by themselves. They will also break up the research together. At the end of this project, the students will grade how well they did in their groups as well as their groups members, using a number scale.
