Synopsis
- In this project, students will assemble a small motor and solar cell with reused materials to create a wobble bot.
Subjects: Engineering
Authors: Kathy Ceceri
Region: Global
Languages: English
Teaching Materials
Positives
- This is a hands-on project that will help students problem-solve and innovate.
Prerequisites
- The materials required for this project should be available without purchasing new items. However, you may need to ask students if their parents or guardians have any of the materials available to borrow.
- Maker spaces may also have some materials to borrow and thrift stores or ReStores may have items as well.
- The link for the enrichment programs at schools and libraries, solar garden light, and electrical tape do not work.
Differentiation & Implementation
- Students could experiment with other materials and light sources or different colored lights to see if it changes the activity of the bot.
- Solar rechargeable batteries (powered by the sun) could also be used to demonstrate the ability to store solar energy when the sun isn't shining.
