How far did your robot move forward?In this program:2. What affected the distance it moved?3. How could you get it to move a longer distance? A shorter distance? An exact distance you want?Opening ActivityMany things affected how far your robot traveled.•The number of degrees your Wait For block is set to wait for • The size of your tiresWheels and DistanceIn this activity we’re going to program our robot to move an exact distance. To do so we must understand a few things about circles. START FINISHReviewLet’s start with the basics. Answer the following:1. What is a radius of a circle?2. What is a diameter of a circle?3. What is the formula for the circumference of a circle?The distance from the center to the outside of a circle.The distance, through a circle’s center, from one edge to another.Circumference= diameter * πrdPreviewWith our knowledge of circumference, we can start figuring out how to control the distance our robot goes.PreviewFirst, we need to understand that the circumference of a circle is really just a line curled around a center point.ReviewFrom this, we know that the circumference of a circle and the length of the line it rolls out are equal in length. Finish the following:d = 4 Circumference = 4 * πLength of Line =So we know that…4 * πPreviewLet’s try a few more. Finish this chart:Length of line =Circumference =1 meter2 meters7 meters1 meter2 meters7 metersPreviewPredict what would happen if we were to change the number of rotations that the wheel makes? Or change the diameter of the wheel?Once you have completed the activity check your predictionPreviewIn the meantime, let’s review a few more topics that you will need to successfully complete the Wheels and Distance Investigation.Review: AverageTo find the average of a collection of measurements:• Add all of your measurements together• Divide by the number of measurementsAverage =Measurement 1 + Measurement 2 + Measurement 33Review: AverageSuppose your robot moved forward three times with distances of 5, 6, and 10 meters. What is the average distance it moved forward?Average =+# of measurements Measurement 1 Measurement 2 Measurement 3+5 6 1037 metersThere are 360˚ in one full rotation of a wheelReview: Degrees0˚90˚180˚270˚360˚Review: DegreesIf there are 360˚ in one rotation of a wheel, how many degrees are there in two rotations? Answer: 720˚ 720˚ = 2 rotations * 360˚Go to the next page for more practice!Complete the following chart to get some practice:# of Degrees# Of Rotations1 rot.3 rot.1.5 rot.360˚1080˚540˚Review: DegreesReviewKeep the following in mind as you complete the Wheels and Distance Investigation:• Circumference - the length of line a circle rolls out• Circumference = diameter * π• Average = sum of measurements number of measurements• There are 360˚ in one rotation of a circleReview: Scientific InquiryScientific InquiryThis is the process by which people ask questions, and seek out answers to their questions through the use of experiments and scientific knowledge.Review: Scientific InquiryHypothesisA key element to Scientific Inquiry is the scientist's hypothesis. A hypothesis is an educated guess concerning the outcome of the inquiry process and the experiments conducted within.Now you have the necessary knowledge to get started in the Wheels and Distance Investigation.
