Pythagorean Theorem with Ari
Students will learn to use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the unknown side lengths of right triangles using Ari.
Self-driving Cars
Students will learn how self-driving cars create a visual representation of the world. Then, using Ari’s Time-of-flight sensor, students will create a point cloud of Ari’s surroundings.
Area and Perimeter Everywhere
Students will use the Ari Distance app to measure the side lengths of rectangular shapes and calculate the shapes’ areas and perimeters. Students will then measure rectangular classroom objects to calculate their areas and perimeters.
Stealth Object Design
Students will learn about stealth technology and different techniques for making objects difficult to detect. They will then examine materials of various properties to see how well they work with Ari’s distance sensor.
Measuring Modes
Every STEM career requires some form of data collection and analysis! Use the Ari Distance app to measure the length of each student’s shoe in the class. Students will then determine the mean, median, and mode and graph the results.
Can We Sense That?
Students will use the Ari Distance application to measure the distance from objects made of reflective, transparent, and solid materials. They will then describe how easily Ari can sense different types of materials.
How Can We Measure?
Students will use their hands, feet, and fingers to measure the length of objects. Then, students will use Ari’s distance app to measure the same lengths. Finally, students will compare the measurements taken from both methods.
Mapping a Floor Plan
Students will use Ari’s distance app to create a floor plan of the classroom. Then redesign the space to create the ideal learning environment.
Ari Tells Height
Students will learn the sine, cosine, and tangent trigonometry functions and use Ari’s distance app to calculate their heights given an angle and one side length.
