| Description | Students work as engineers to design and test trebuchets (in this case LEGO® MINDSTORMS® robots) that can launch objects. They determine how far objects travel depending on their weights. Students work as engineers to design and test trebuchets (in this case LEGO® MINDSTORMS® robots) that can launch objects. During the testing stage, they change one variable at a time to study its effect on the outcome of their designs. Specifically, they determine how far objects travel depending on their weights. As students learn about the different components of robot design and the specific function controls, they determine what design features are important for launching objects. |
