3/9/15 Sphero Investigations


Lesson 1: Time, Speed, and Distance
In this lesson, we learned that as the speed and time increase, the distance the ball goes does too. We programmed the ball to go at a speed for certain time amount and then we measured how far it went. 

Lesson 2: 2D Geometry
In this lesson, we learned that the heading angles can make the Sphero turn a certain angle. We programmed the Sphero to turn a color, turn a certain angle, roll, turn a color, turn an angle, roll, etc. We made a square, a triangle, and a pentagon.

Lesson 3: Mean, Median, & Mode
In this lesson, we learned that the delay and the speed depend on each other to go a certain distance. We made the Sphero knock down pins (markers) from a certain distance away. We had to predict the delay it would take to knock down the markers and then roll less than 6 inches away.

Lesson 4: Percentages
When we did this lesson our Sphero didn't work. I would start but not stop so we could not complete the lesson. We tried many different Spheros and they all wouldn't stop. 

Lesson 5: Patterns & Colors
In this lesson, we learned that you can program the Sphero to turn different color. You can put delay to make it a color for a certain time. We made a rainbow with the Sphero and also made Morse code with it.
