Rolling for Speed
Students will use the Ari Distance App to construct inclined planes of different lengths and heights with classroom materials. Using their constructed inclined planes, students will time a ball rolling down each plane and calculate its average speed.
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.
Ari’s Pollination Garden
Put on your botanist hat and create an interactive flower garden to explore how animals and insects help with pollination! Program Ari to mimic a pollinator’s journey, track which flowers were visited, and use the data collected to compare your resul
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.
