Jan 21, 2009 "Science and Data Logging": First Look This is a
new curriculum by Carnegie-Mellon, designed to introduce
students to data logging with NXT-G 2.0. Included are lesson
plans and video tutorials for the following experiments:
1)Motion: Program a mobile robot to obey the posted speed limit
2)Heat: Investigate how effectively various materials block
radiant heat 3)Sound: Investigate the sound sensor's response to
different kinds of sounds 4)Light and Color: Investigate whether
or not your robot can detect "rust" and "mold" in narrow
"ventilation ducts" 5)Light: Program your robot's light sensor
to detect structural weaknesses on the underside of a "bridge"
The curriculum includes high-quality instructional videos,
student worksheets, quizzes and an extensive teacher's guide.
Purchase includes a classroom license. A VIDEO that features the
motion experiment is here. BUILDING INSTRUCTIONS for the stand
used in the sound investigation are here. An OVERVIEW of the
