Instructional Material: Mini-Inventory for NXT 9797 kit

These 3 pdf file are 8.5x11 sheets with full size placeholders for the key components of the NXT 9797 kit.  The purpose of these sheets is to allow a quick inventory of the key elements in the kit, rather than than a more time consuming exhaustive inventory of each of the 600+ parts.  Students place these sheets on their desks and then overlay the indciated elements.  This allows a teacher to quickly walk around the room and assess whether the kits are largely complete.  Thanks to Ray Gutierrez of Washington Middle School  (Olympia, WA) for this idea.  Note: Ray supplies his students with extra snap beams (straight and right angle), so his sheets show more of these than are found in the stock 9797 kit from LEGO.
