WeDo 2.0 Lab Activity

 Today's activity was WeDo LegoLab. In class me and my partner were to choose which Lego activity we wanted to do. Making sure that the activity was WeDo 2.0, and it had coding available. Me and my partner choose Milo's Tilt Sensor. The objective is to program Milo's messaging arm using the Tilt Sensor, and document Milo's communication with the base.  








Lesson Plan for Metro:

  1. We will begin by discussing what the students know about rovers. What is a rover? How might having a rover be beneficial to scientists? 

  2. Next the students will be shown a picture of what Milo the Rover should look like by the time they are finished with the activity. Then, they will work together when given building instructions to assemble the rover. The building instructions are visual only, which should provide a challenge that is engaging and promotes discussion throughout the build. 

  3. Once the motor is connected to the Smart hub and the hub can connect to the device, the students can begin exploring the program to code milo for actions. 

  4. The students will be instructed to use the first initial code to start the motor at power 8, go in one direction for 2 seconds and then stop.

  5. After students have successfully coded Milo for his simple task of moving, they will then be given the opportunity to change the parameters of the code to see what else they can code Milo to do.
