This site describes how to use the RoboLab software that is used with the Lego Mindstorms system. The Mindstorms product is used to introduce robotics to beginners.

Through the two lessons and five activities in this unit, students' knowledge of sensors and motors is integrated with programming logic as they perform complex tasks using LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robots and software.

Through four lesson and four activities, students are introduced to the logic behind programming using LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robots.

Four lessons related to robots and people present students with life sciences concepts related to the human body (including brain, nervous systems and muscles), introduced through engineering devices and subjects (including computers,...

Explanation of how physical and conceptual models can be used during scientific research. Several examples are given ranging from modeling with Legos to computer modeling.

A collection of activities where students investigate linear equations. Activities involve an exploration of the lines in a polygraph and the vocabulary needed to describe them accurately; the slope in graphs; lines in different...

Students learn about the human body's system components, specifically its sensory systems, nervous system and brain, while comparing them to robot system components, such as sensors and computers. The unit's life sciences-to-engineering...

Through six lesson/activity sets, students learn about the functioning of sensors, both human and robotic
