Dear Bloggers,

We have started a unit on ‘Playing Soccer’.  The first step was to and program kicking legs to shoot goals. The children added a motion sensor to detect the ball and then we had a competition to see who could kick the ball the furthest.  This involved modifying the program and the design of the legs to get the greatest kick. Measuring and recording the distances incorporated some mathematics. The children carried out fair tests with the only variable being the robotic legs.

 

Thanks for calling by
