In Nevada, second grade has some challenging engineering standards which require students to dig deep into some very logic-oriented topics. I know that using robots and this electronics kit will help them fulfill all of the following Common Core standards: K-2-ETS1-1. Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool. --Robots and Electronics design kits help by giving students a defined problem to address and solve. K-2-ETS1-2. Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem. --Both robots and electronics experiments require analytical skills, such as sketching out a pattern you need to make the robot travel in order to fulfill the task assigned. Being able to read electronic schematics and/or to develop the skill to design one's own circuits on paper first, helps to solve tasks as well. K-2-ETS1-3. Analyze data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each performs. --With both robots and electronics kits, you must be able to experiment with and compare the output/results of your designs. Some will work, some will work in unexpected ways, and some will not work. All of these eventualities are excellent learning tools. When what a student completes does/does not work (say if the robot or circuit does not do anything or functions in an unexpected way), each will cause the students to expand their problem-solving skills, while reinforcing their existing skills and ultimately cements learning.
