Today we took apart three mbots from last year and reassembled them to learn about their parts and how they were put together. One group didn't use the instruction manual at all!
Next we'll learn about programming them in mblock, which is similar to the Scratch coding language we've seen before.

Today the innovation lab visited and showed us the SCIO, "pocket spectrometer" that scans things around us and shows their chemical make up. See the video below about how it works. We talked about our favorite types of apple, and then used an app with the Brix scale that farmers use to see which apple was the sweetest and the most nutritious. Fuji won! We also looked at other fruits and veggies. Most people's favorite part was comparing the nutrition and cocoa content in different types of chocolate. Turns out white chocolate has no cocoa. Didn't stop people from sampling it though! |
