TEACHERS: Working Scientifically

Processing and analysing data

  • apply appropriate technologies to represent data

Design, Code and Production

Design your path

  • plot your design and route on the clear map provided
  • write each players individual code and path
  • identify data required from each robot or sensor

Researching and planning

  • develop, record and communicate design ideas, decisions and processes
  • manage projects within time constraints
  • design, modify and follow simple paths, co-ordinates and code

Producing and implementing

  • develop project plans that consider resources when producing designed solutions individually and collaboratively
  • implement digital solutions as visual programs involving multimedia and various technologies available

Testing and evaluating

  • take turn and test, test and test again. Once code is running smoothly, evaluate data of robots and their sensors.
  • plan all deliverables to work within the timeframes

STUDENTS: Questions to be asked:

what is your main objective?

  • research the surface of MARS,
  • research the atmospheric space,
  • can humans live on MARS?

what are the deliverables?

  • graphs, code, photos, and videos?

identify the role of each member and who is taking the lead?

  • good communication is essential to every successful project.
