Discussion Prompts

Observing

  • Why does it appear that the Sun moves across the sky throughout the day?
  • How did the Code Day/Night model move when you started your VEXcode GO project?
  • How would you need to change your VEXcode GO project to show the rotation of the Earth for an entire day?

Predicting

  • What do you think causes sunrises and sunsets?
  • What do you think would happen if the Earth started rotating much quicker or much slower? How would this change our days and nights?
  • If the Earth rotating on its axis causes day and night, what do you think causes the change of seasons throughout the year?

Collaborating

  • How did your group work together to build the Code Day/Night build? What did you do to make sure everyone had a chance to participate?
  • What is one thing your group had to work together to figure out as you were building your VEXcode GO projects?
  • How did your group do following your role responsibilities? Do you have a ‘favorite’ job or role? Why?
