Students engage in the second design challenge of the unit, which is an extension of the maze challenge they solved in the first lesson/activity of this unit. Students extend the ideas learned in the maze challenge with a focus more on the robot design. Gears are a very important part of any machine, particularly when it has a power source such as engine or motor. Specifically, students learn how to design the gear train from the LEGO MINDSTORMS(TM) NXT servomotor to the wheel to make the LEGO taskbot go faster or slower. A PowerPoint® presentation, pre/post quizzes and a worksheet are provided.

Why are people driving 100, 200 or even 500 km to get a meal at a restaurant in small-town Saskatchewan? Check out Harvest Eatery, a place that the Globe and Mail’s Amy Rosen compares to world-famous out-of-the-way eateries like Sweden’s Faviken and Spain’s Arzak.
Chef Garrett “Rusty” Thienes delivers passion, craftsmanship and a (small but tasty) dash of rock and roll anarchy on your plate at Harvest Eatery. Try the Harvest Burger or a tender striploin carved from Saskatchewan-raised Speckle Park beef.

Kevin Slavin argues that we're living in a world designed for -- and increasingly controlled by -- algorithms. In this riveting talk from TEDGlobal, he shows how these complex computer programs determine: espionage tactics, stock prices, movie scripts, and architecture. And he warns that we are writing code we can't understand, with implications we can't control. A quiz, thought provoking question, and links for further study are provided to create a lesson around the 15-minute video. Educators may use the platform to easily "Flip" or create their own lesson for use with their students of any age or level.

This lesson introduces electricity, batteries and motors using a LEGO® MINDSTORMS NXT® robot. The associated activity guides students to build a simple LEGO NXT set-up and see the practical implementation of the concepts discussed. Before studying the importance of electricity and how it is crucial for robot movement, students consider various electronic devices they use in their daily lives so that they have an understanding of how engineers use electricity to power such devices, including robots. The lesson starts with a brief introduction to electricity and the working of batteries. A simple electrical circuit demonstration highlights how three basic electrical devices (buzzer, LED and motor) are driven by electricity. An activity at the end further reinforces these concepts.

If you are a Canadian, you reside on the ancestral territory of an Indigenous nation. Fostering a healthy relationship that is reciprocal with that Indigenous nation is super important. A Land Acknowledgement is a small way for you to acknowledge oneself and their relationship to the land and to the Indigenous peoples who care for it.
Indigenous peoples roll their eyes at most contemporary Land Acknowledgements. So I have created a 7 minutes 4 part guide to creating an effective and personalized Land Acknowledgement.
