In this lesson, students will finish their project, create a pitch video for their project, share their project with their peers, give/receive feedback on each other’s projects, export and submit their designs, and answer a series of reflection questions.

Estimated time required: 3-4 class periods.

Technology required for this lesson: Code Editor, Electronics Kit, Laptop/Desktop, Robotics Kit, Tablet, Video Editing Software.

In this lesson, students will learn how to create more advanced robotics by controlling the Sphero RVR with the micro:bit. Students will learn about sensors in robotics and explore the temperature sensor function of the micro:bit. They will learn how to add the RVR SDK extension to the micro:bit MakeCode programming environment.

Estimated time required: 2-3 class periods.

Technology required for this lesson: Code Editor, Electronics Kit, Laptop/Desktop, Robotics Kit, Tablet.

In this lesson, students will learn how to use the RVR + littleBits to build a robotic aquatic creature that moves and makes noise! First, you'll think about real life aquatic animals that the New Horizon might have encountered, then you'll plan, design, build and program a RVR with littleBits sensors and actuators to simulate this animal's sound, movement and behaviors.

Estimated time required: 2-3 class periods.

Technology required for this lesson: Code Editor, Electronics Kit, Laptop/Desktop, Robotics Kit, Tablet.

In “Plastic, Ahoy!” the New Horizon had to navigate the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in the North Pacific Central Gyre. The gyre is filled with plastic, debris, and lots of sea creatures! In this lesson, students will learn how to use the RVR + littleBits + micro:bit to build a Gyre Navigator Bot that can detect and avoid obstacles!

Estimated time required: 2-3 class periods.

Technology required for this lesson: Code Editor, Electronics Kit, Laptop/Desktop, Robotics Kit, Tablet.

In this lesson, students will build on all the hardware and software they have used so far and take a deeper look at one specific component known as the servo motor. Students will build and test a Sample Label Bot using RVR, the littleBits servo and a micro:bit that can help the New Horizon researchers by labeling their water samples from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

Estimated time required: 2-3 class periods.

Technology required for this lesson: Code Editor, Electronics Kit, Laptop/Desktop, Robotics Kit, Tablet.

In this video segment from Greater Boston, learn how a man with severe motor disabilities can operate a computer and move a prosthetic hand by simply thinking the commands, thanks to the combined efforts of bioengineers and neuroscientists.

Our brains control every movement we make. Most of us take for granted our ability to pick up a cup or change the television station. However, for people who have lost a limb or become paralyzed, the inability to do these things means a loss of freedom and independence. This video segment from Greater Boston describes how neuroscientists and bioengineers have teamed up to create a system that allows people who have lost motor functions to control electronic devices through their thoughts alone. Grades 6-12

This is a perfect website for the younger student to learn about Native Americans in general and the Caddo Indians in particular. Lots of clickable, colorful pictures on their homes, culture, way of life, and earthen mounds. Also lots of historical and contemporary photographs of these Native Americans.

This collection uses primary sources to explore The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. Digital Public Library of America Primary Source Sets are designed to help students develop their critical thinking skills and draw diverse material from libraries, archives, and museums across the United States. Each set includes an overview, ten to fifteen primary sources, links to related resources, and a teaching guide. These sets were created and reviewed by the teachers on the DPLA's Education Advisory Committee.

Charles Lamb retells the tale of Ulysses. This is not a translation of Homer's Ulysses, but a modern (19th century) retelling of the story.
