Measuring Distances: Module Overview
In this module students will:
Understand the basics of measuring distance and its application
Learn to use distance sensors to determine the robot’s location with respect to the target.
Use reading from the sensor to avoid obstacles or stop before the object
Locate and align to objects using the distance sensor
Covered Standards (NGSS and CSTA):
HS-ETS1-2 Break a complex real-world problem into smaller, more manageable problems that each can be solved using scientific and engineering principles.
3A-AP-16 Design and iteratively develop computational artifacts for practical intent, personal expression, or to address a societal issue by using events to initiate instructions.
3A-AP-17 Decompose problems into smaller components through systematic analysis, using constructs such as procedures, modules, and/or objects.
3B-CS-02 Illustrate ways computing systems implement logic, input, and output through hardware components.
3B-AP-10 Use and adapt classic algorithms to solve computational problems.
3B-AP-11 Evaluate algorithms in terms of their efficiency, correctness, and clarity.
3B-AP-15 Analyze a large-scale computational problem and identify generalizable patterns that can be applied to a solution.
3B-AP-16 Demonstrate code reuse by creating programming solutions using libraries and APIs.
