Example: Cars use motors for energy.
Example: living things has muscles to move and to contain energy]]> 2022-11-30 03:43:47 UTC https://padlet.com/2029shko1_1/fa4eervk3c9ujjek/wish/2402960568 2029shko1_1 https://padlet.com/2029shko1_1/fa4eervk3c9ujjek/wish/2402960569 1.  Make a copy of this Padlet for your group.

2. Classify each part as input/output by correctly connecting it to the input or output label.

3.  Add two real-world examples to each part.]]> 2022-11-30 03:43:47 UTC https://padlet.com/2029shko1_1/fa4eervk3c9ujjek/wish/2402960569 2029shko1_1 https://padlet.com/2029shko1_1/fa4eervk3c9ujjek/wish/2402960570 The color sensor detects different colors by shooting out beams of colored light and seeing which ones are reflected back -- they help our robots navigate and find things.

Example: for living things we have hands to touch to understand what the thing is
Example: for living things we have eyes to see what the thing is]]> 2022-11-30 03:43:47 UTC https://padlet.com/2029shko1_1/fa4eervk3c9ujjek/wish/2402960570 2029shko1_1 https://padlet.com/2029shko1_1/fa4eervk3c9ujjek/wish/2402960571 The light matrix is our robot's screen -- it's used to display numbers, emotions, etc.

example: we humans use our mouth to speak to express
example: animals roar, tweet, bark, meows, etc]]> 2022-11-30 03:43:47 UTC https://padlet.com/2029shko1_1/fa4eervk3c9ujjek/wish/2402960571 2029shko1_1 https://padlet.com/2029shko1_1/fa4eervk3c9ujjek/wish/2402960572 The rotation sensor measure degrees/rotations that our motor spins, to help our robots navigate + be consistent & precise.

Example: we can see if it is tilted or not
Example: we can feel that it is a little different]]> 2022-11-30 03:43:47 UTC https://padlet.com/2029shko1_1/fa4eervk3c9ujjek/wish/2402960572 2029shko1_1 https://padlet.com/2029shko1_1/fa4eervk3c9ujjek/wish/2402960573 This sensor uses ultrasonic waves (sound waves that we can't hear) to help our robot detect nearby objects/obstacles. 

Example: It is on distance measuring app that measures distance.

Example: both of humans eyes help see the distance between the object and its self.]]> 2022-11-30 03:43:47 UTC https://padlet.com/2029shko1_1/fa4eervk3c9ujjek/wish/2402960573 2029shko1_1 https://padlet.com/2029shko1_1/fa4eervk3c9ujjek/wish/2402960574 The force sensor measures force and can also detect when it's pressed, released, or bumped.

Example : It is used on weight scales that measure weight.

Example: Our body can feel when we are bumped or pressed.]]> 2022-11-30 03:43:47 UTC https://padlet.com/2029shko1_1/fa4eervk3c9ujjek/wish/2402960574 2029shko1_1 https://padlet.com/2029shko1_1/fa4eervk3c9ujjek/wish/2402960575 The gyro sensor measure angles/tilt to help our robots balance and turn.

Example: humans can feel if we are tilted because the blood flows to the side that is close to the ground because of gravity

Example: if cars are tilted cars beeps]]> 2022-11-30 03:43:47 UTC https://padlet.com/2029shko1_1/fa4eervk3c9ujjek/wish/2402960575
