三年级的模块
•稳定性和 运动: Forces and Interactions – Students explore simple machines such as wheel and axles, levers, the inclined plane,
和更多的. 他们 investigate the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object. 安吉丽娜,Mylo and Suzi go on
a field trip to the zoo and are faced with the design problem of how to rescue a trapped tiger. Students then apply their knowledge of
forces and devise a way to rescue a heavy zoo animal while keeping it safe throughout the process.

• Programming Patterns – This module introduces students to the power of modularity and abstraction. Starting with computer-free
activities and progressing to programming in a blocks-based langu年龄 on a 平板电脑, students learn how to think computationally about
一个问题. 安吉丽娜,Mylo and Suzi set the st年龄 for the design problem as they discuss their desire to create video games on their
平板电脑. Students then create a 平板电脑 game using modular 函数s and branching logic.

四年级的模块
•能量：碰撞 – Students explore the properties of mechanisms and how they change energy by transferring direction, 速度,
type of movement, and force. Students discover a variety of ways potential energy can be stored and released as kinetic energy. 他们
explain the relationship between the 速度 of an object and the energy of that object, as well as predict the transfer of energy as a
result of a collision between two objects. The design problem is introduced by 安吉丽娜,Mylo and Suzi watching amusement park
碰碰车相撞. As students solve the problem for this module, they apply their knowledge and skills to develop a vehicle restraint
系统.

• Input/Output: Computer Systems – In this exploration of how computers work, students are encour年龄d to make analogies between
the parts of the human body and parts that make up a computer. Students investigate reaction time as a measure of nervous 系统
函数. After Mylo suffers a concussion, his friends become interested in how to diagnose concussions and create a reaction-time
computer program to assess a baseline before a concussion occurs. Students apply what they have learned to 构建 their own reactiontime
measurement devices on 平板电脑s. This module has strong connections to the fourth-grade Human Brain module.

五年级的模块
• Robotics and Automation – Students explore the ways robots are used in today’s world and their impact on society and the environment.
Students learn about a variety of robotic components as they 构建 and test mobile robots that may be controlled remotely. 安吉丽娜,
Mylo, and Suzi are tasked with designing a mobile robot that can remove hazardous materials from a disaster site. 学生们
challenged to design, model, and test a mobile robot that solves this design problem.

• Robotics and Automation: Challenge – Students expand their understanding of robotics as they explore mechanical design and
计算机编程. This module focuses on developing skills needed to 构建 and program autonomous robots. 安吉丽娜,Mylo
and Suzi are tasked with designing an automatic-guided vehicle to deliver supplies to a specific area in a hospital without being
remotely controlled by a person. Inspired by this design problem, students work with a group to apply their knowledge to design, 构建,
test, and refine a mobile robot that meets a set of design constraints.
