Energy Robot

Diy-  Energy Robot

Forms of Energy project

-A Science, Art and Writing Project

Students will present their understanding of the different forms of energy. Each student engineer will plan, design and create a robot that features each form of energy:

-thermal

-electrical

-light

-sound

-mechanical

Examples may be “representative.” For example, some kids may choose to include actual lights, but this is not necessary.

The project will include:

-A 3 D model of the robot

-A Power Point or Keynote Presentation

-An oral presentation of the Power Point/Keynote work.

*Each slide in the Power Point will explain a different energy form and how your robot would use this form. You may choose to use the pre-made Power point templates, or
create your own. For example...

Thermal Energy

Thermal energy is a type of kinetic energy. It is also known as heat energy. My 
robot

has a built-in towel warmer. It uses thermal energy to heat your bath towel on a
chilly Chicago mornings.

Presentations may be emailed to me at mport@cps.edu

Final Projects are due June 3rd.
Powerpoint Instructable https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Create-a-PowerPoint-Presentation/

Pictures and a sample presentation are available on the blog.

Student's have been provided with handouts

Thanks to Ms. Collazo's former students for these terrific examples!

Sample of the Powerpoint. Note: to get a top score, you must explain what each type of energy is, and how your robot would use the energy. The sample below needs some more details!
