Discussion Prompts

Observing

  • How did the Robot Arm move? What were its limitations?
  • Choose one group’s directions (more if time allows) and try to follow them to pick up a disk and move it successfully. Why did it work? Why didn’t it work?

Predicting

  • What is one change or adaptation that could make it easier to move things with the Robot Arm?
  • What are some things you think you could use the Robot Arm to do or help you do?
  • How could robotic arms be used in real-world applications?

Collaborating

  • Which role did you prefer in this Lab - being the Builder or being the Journalist? Why?
  • What was one strategy your group used to write successful directions? What is one thing you could improve?
  • What is one thing you learned in this Lab that you think could help another group in the future?
