Students used a systematic approach to solve a problem.Students used observations to improve the results of their tests.Use the following success criteria to evaluate your students' progress: You can use the assessment rubrics provided to simplify the process.Ĭreate a scale that matches your needs, for example:.

Give feedback on each student's performance.Don't forget to leave some time for cleanup.Ask your students to explain the difference between stopping at an object using calculations vs.Have your students program the Force Sensor on the rhino’s nose to stop the motors when it hits a 'wall' of bricks.Allow only one trial for this challenge.Challenge your students to use their existing calculations to recalculate their programming block values to make the rhino stop at a distance of 120 cm (47 in.).Discuss different methods for calculating how to make the rhino stop exactly one meter from its starting position.Encourage them to record their calculations so they can then refer to them in the next two challenges.Have each pair of students place their rhino 1 meter (39 in.) from the LEGO brick, run their program, and see how they did.Ask them to program the rhino to move one meter, stopping as close as possible to an upright LEGO brick, without touching it.Have your students work in pairs to build the rhino model.Use the ideas in the Ignite a Discussion section below to engage your students in a discussion related to this lesson.
