Ari’s Energy Food Chain
Bring the energy of ecosystems to life by programming Ari to simulate the flow of energy through a vibrant food chain, from the sun to producers, consumers, and decomposers. Use sequencing language to craft and present your model to your others!
Ari’s Mars Landing
Students set off on a guided journey using the Ari Compass App to spot the cardinal and intermediate directions and follow a path around the map. Along the way, they’ll tackle a design challenge based on Ari’s location—using their compass skills and
Ari’s Solar System Adventure
Students use the Ari Compass App to learn how a compass works and how Earth’s magnetic field guides it. Then they explore magnetic fields across the solar system to see how a compass would behave on other planets.
Pangea Evolution
Travel back in time to explore the breakup of Pangea. Students use Ari’s Compass app to track how continents shifted across millions of years and assemble map puzzles showing each evolutionary phase. They then analyze continental drift patterns and i
Crash Scene Investigator
Students act as crash scene investigators, using Ari’s Compass app and Newton’s Third Law to identify force directions and rebuild collision scenarios.
Map the Hike
Use Ari as your trail guide! Students combine the Compass and Distance apps to map out a series of hikes, using latitude and longitude to find starting points and Ari’s sensors to measure each segment. They draw accurate trail paths by following real
Battle Corn
Students use Ari’s Compass app to explore the difference between true north and magnetic north as they create and solve directional clues to locate hidden “corn” on a U.S. map.
Constellation Creation
Students use Ari’s Compass App to sketch constellations on a grid, then research the myths behind them. They finish by designing an original constellation and writing its story.
Field and Auroras
Students use Ari’s Compass App to model Earth’s magnetic field lines, label the magnetosphere, and create an aurora based on how charged particles move.
Ocean Life Cycles
Students will create interactive diagrams to show the life cycles of two different ocean dwelling organisms. Ari will display the life cycles of the organisms as it travels on a track. Students then compare and contrast the two different life cycles.
