STEM 2 with Vernier and LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT
Recommended for High School and Middle School Science.
This book is perfect to motivate upper middle school and high school students to pursue science and engineering careers.
Description
STEM 2 with Vernier and LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT is our second book of projects and labs in collaboration with LEGO. It has activities using a Dual-Range Force Sensor, Magnetic Field Sensor, Voltage Probe, and Gas Pressure Sensor to motivate upper middle school and high school students to pursue science and engineering careers.
It covers topics in physical science and engineering, including mechanics, pressure, electricity, and magnetism. Students are challenged to build and program robots for testing batteries, “land mine” locator, automated Cartesian diver, and more.
Included with STEM 2 with Vernier and LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT
- Complete student experiments with materials list, step-by-step instructions, data tables, and questions.
- Teacher Information section for each experiment with complete directions for setting up experiments, helpful hints, and sample graphs and data.
