Lego Mindstorms EV3 Robotics Parts Activity
I use this cut and sort activity to get my robotics students thinking about the correct title of each part and its function. It really helps when they know what you mean when you are talking to them about "adding a bushing to that axle" or "use a beam to attach your sensor." I have found it to be a really helpful introductory activity.

VEX EDR Engineering Notebook Planner
After several seasons of arguing with my teams about their Engineering notebooks I developed this task list. It includes all of the items and topics needed for your team to produce a winning notebook.I've made this a word document download so you can edit it. It has made a huge difference in the quality of our notebooks and helped my students and myself meet time frames for completing notebook tasks. I usually give each team a copy of this and have them complete it then hang in the classroom

LEGO Robotics - Wheels and Distance
These are the guided notes for our lesson about wheels and how their sizes affect distance traveled when programming. We complete this lesson before starting the "Moving Forward Challenges" found here:
Moving Forward Challenges
Included in this purchase are the student guided notes and the "answers", or what I use as answers in class.
This took about one 50min class period. Here is what we did the next day:
I created 4 programs "tiny, small, standard, large" that were simple straight forward

LEGO Robotics - Experimenting with Gears
Guided notes to introduce students to gears and then experimenting with combinations of different sized gears. You will need different sized gears, measuring tape or rulers (or tape measuring out 2 feet), and timers.
I suggest completing this activity in partners and with a decent amount of space (not on tables!) as the robot will move much faster than students expect. Make sure one student is ready to "catch" the robot to prevent it from running into walls.
After completing this activity, we

Gear Ratios Notes Outline
This is a handout that goes with my Gear Ratios Lecture. It is a basic lecture for Gear Ratios in VEX EDR/V5 . All of my downloads are no frills and no fuss. They are just items I use in class that I'm trying to share with others. This lecture is 24 slides long. It explains how gears work, how to calculate a gear ratio (There are several ways/methods to do this. I teach this in the way I've found my high school students can understand and apply to their robots).Teachers would need a basic und

Relationship between Electricity and Magnetism Video Notes (Flipped Physics)
Scaffolded video notes explaining how magnets can be used to generate electricity and how electricity can be used to create magnetism (electromagnets). Demonstrations and images in the video help students to understand the relationship between electricity and magnetism. Demonstrations of how electricity can be generated with just coiled wire and a magnet. The importance of the shape of a solenoid is discussed and compared to the magnetic field around a bar magnet. An electromagnet is als
