What educators are saying

My students loved using this resource! It was engaging and easy to use. I was able to use it with little editing and prepping. Thank you!
Great resource. Still not sure all the projects will work with the sphero minis but some great ideas to add to a makerspace station.

Description

All of my most current Sphero activities are bundled into one for a cheaper price to keep your students engaged in robotics, coding, and engineering throughout the year or to use for different grade levels. All use basic and simple Sphero coding skills while also fostering creativity as they create snowplow covers, a thanksgiving float, a way for a Sphero to draw different shapes on paper, a bridge for it to cross, etc. It is great for the regular classroom, makerspaces, STEM classes, coding clubs, etc. as it fosters computational thinking and engineering design thinking. All activities can be completed with basic materials along with a Sphero and ipad. I recommend regular sized Spheros but minis should be able to adapt to most of these as well. All of these activities also COULD be adapted for other robotic devices too. *Update - just added another lesson/resource: Sphero "Looping" Collaborative Art Painting!

You will get access to Google Drive folders, pdf activity engineering/coding student sheets to help walk them through the lesson that can be printed out or used digitally with notability, teacher Google slides to walk through the lessons with your students (and prepare you), as well as any other needed supporting materials.

I personally use Sphero bridge and Loop Painting with 3rd grade, Sphero artbot and thanksgiving float with my 4th graders, Sphero intro/maze & snowplow with my 5th graders if you are needing some inspiration in that regard!

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
NGSS3-PS2-1
Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object. Examples could include an unbalanced force on one side of a ball can make it start moving; and, balanced forces pushing on a box from both sides will not produce any motion at all. Assessment is limited to one variable at a time: number, size, or direction of forces. Assessment does not include quantitative force size, only qualitative and relative. Assessment is limited to gravity being addressed as a force that pulls objects down.
NGSS3-5-ETS1-3
Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved.
NGSS3-PS2-2
Make observations and/or measurements of an object’s motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion. Examples of motion with a predictable pattern could include a child swinging in a swing, a ball rolling back and forth in a bowl, and two children on a see-saw. Assessment does not include technical terms such as period and frequency.
NGSS3-5-ETS1-1
Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.
NGSS3-5-ETS1-2
Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
