A
  • Acceleration:
    The rate of change in the speed of something over time.
C
  • Center of Gravity (CoG):
    The point at which weight is evenly distributed and balanced in all directions.
D
  • Data Logging:
    The process of collecting and storing data over a period of time in order to analyze it.
E
  • Engineering Notebook:
    A type of journal that the students will use to record their designs, ideas, and reflections as they move through the STEM Lab.
F
  • Fulcrum:
    The point of rest, or support, on which a lever turns.
I
  • Inertia:
    The force that causes something moving to tend to continue moving, and that causes something not moving to tend to continue not to move.
S
  • Slope:
    The angle of a surface where it rises.
  • Speed:
    A measure of how fast an object is moving.
V
  • Velocity:
    The speed and direction at which something is traveling.
  • VEX V5 Clawbot:
    The robot build that is used for the STEM Lab. This robot is the result of the first hands-on lesson the students will accomplish. It is used to complete the rest of the STEM Lab activities.
