The first class in Phase III is open for students in ECA. This is the highest level of class in Play2Learn Education Lego Challenge Program. In the next 8 weeks, we will have chance to practice different ways to generate energy; to experience pneumatic; to design machine arm; to construct a mechanism hand.
We do use the monitor today to find out how strong your hand is. Your hand scroll the hand generator to generator energy. The energy is measured in Joules and you can find it in the monitor. We know how strong your hand is, since we can quantitatively see your hand scrolling generate 100 Joules energy! Super! The energy can be used to move a car! What a fabulous experiments!
Andy and Ethan finished the construction quickly. They dived into the experiment soon. They use the different speed to roll the hand generator and record the amount of Joules they generated.The car is moving by the energy, and also the car is moving forward and backward.
Phase III needs more theoretical knowledge in the experiments. That is really a good activity to help kids audit and find what they learned in the classroom.
In the next week, we are going to try a new model boat pulley!
