IHS STEM Robotics 1,2 NXT Parts Exploration

Submitted by Brett Schormann on 17 February, 2013 - 18:52
Overview: 
This lesson gives students some further hands-on experience with various NXT kit parts. Student gain familiarity and confidence in working with the components and reinforce their understanding of the components' names and properties. The structural building challenge allows students to put this new knowledge to a practical test.
Objectives: 

Students will be able to:

1. Identify the electronic components of the robotics system

2. List the electronic component of the robotics system

3. Describe the function of the electronic components of the robotics system

4. Describe the function of the wheel, gear, bushing and axle components of the robotics system

5. Describe the function of structural components of the robotics system

6. Describe the function of connector components of the robotics system

7. Apply knowledge of structural building techniques
