Milo's Motion Sensor with LEGO® WeDo 2.0

Project description

After having learnt about science rovers having built one and having programmed it the children are asked to create a robotic arm that incorporates the Motion Sensor, making it possible for Milo to detect plant samples. They are also asked to build a plant sample on a LEGO® round plate.

In this project they explore how the use of science instruments is important to the task scientists have to do. Also they explore how a rover uses sensors in order to help it make decisions about where to go and where to stop.

The provided program string will make the rover move forward until it detects the presence of the sample object. It will then stop and make a sound.

The kit we used

For this project we used the LEGO® Education WeDo 2.0 Core Set. The WeDo 2.0 projects are developed with the National Curriculum requirements for science at Key Stage 2 in mind.
It is based upon the latest science curriculum and was created to enhance pupils’ curiosity and science and computing skills. Using tablet computers we provide children access to an easy-to-use programming environment that follows the WeDo 2.0 Curriculum Pack covering themes such as life, physical, earth, space sciences as well as engineering.

The WeDo 2.0 projects are developed with the National Curriculum requirements for science at Key Stage 2 in mind.
These practices represent the expectations of the Curriculum, in that pupils develop scientific knowledge and conceptual understanding, as well as practical skills.
