Art Bot Project

Grade 6 S.T.E.A.M. ArtBot Project

Learning Goal: To design and create an object using 2 AA batteries and 1 motor. This object must move in some way to create “art”

Requirements (Success Criteria):

• You will work with a partner.
• Your bot must move on its own and somehow incorporate the motor provided
• Use found/recycled materials to build an artbot
• Moving might mean rolling, wobbling, bouncing, sliding, twirling, shaking
• It must somehow leave marks on the paper “floor” (that’s why it’s called an ARTbot).
• You will submit a report outlining your process and explaining your final product.
• You will present your ArtBot on the due date with the rest of the class, and we will create an AWESOME piece of collective ArtBot art.

Report Outline

Your report will resemble a scientific report, in that it will have sections and headings as follows:

Title: You may want to name your ArtBot

Student Engineers:  Your names here

Objective: What is the purpose of your creation?  What are you trying to do/accomplish?

Plan and Rationale: How are you planning on accomplishing your objective?  What method are you going to use to make your Bot move?  Why?

Materials: List all the materials and the quantity of each that you are using for your ArtBot.

Procedure: Provide step-by-step instructions for creating and operating your ArtBot

Observations/Modifications:  What happened along the way?  What worked? Why? What didn’t work?  Why? What did you do to fix it? Why?

Conclusions:  What have you learned from this project?  What scientific or technological or engineering or math or art concepts/principles are demonstrated by your ArtBot?  What did you learn about how things work? Can you think of other ways that you could apply what you have learned?

Probability Review

Quiz is scheduled for Thursday, May 2nd, 2019

Probability Review

1. Use the words impossible, likely, unlikely or certain to describe the following events:

a) If you flip a coin once, you will get a head and a tail: ____________________

b) If you roll a die once, you will get a number less than six:____________________

c) Eight metres of snow will fall today: ____________________

2. Dakota and Bryan count their coloured paper clips and record the results in the table below.

Colour	Dakota	Bryan
Red	14	18
Yellow	7	9
Blue	6	5
White	17	20

They put all of the paper clips in a box. Dakota chooses one paper clip from the box without looking.

Determine the probability that Dakota chooses a red paperclip.

Show your work.

3. A spinner has 12 equal sized sections. The sections are labelled 1 through 12. What is the probability that Eva will spin a multiple of 3 on her first spin?

Explain how you know.

5. Put these fractions into a percent. You may use a calculator.

1. 5/20    b) 9/10 c)  8/35 d) 6/50

6. Rori has a bag of 20 coloured blocks. Without looking, she reaches in and pulls one block out. Complete the table below to determine the probability of choosing a red, green, purple or yellow block.

Colour	Fraction	Decimal	Percent	Ratio
Red	6/10
Green		0.5
Purple				2:10
Yellow			0.7

7. Keenan places 3 green marbles, 4 yellow marbles and 1 blue marble in a bag. Keenan then adds 1 green marble and 1 yellow marble to the bag. Does the probability that Keenan will randomly choose a yellow marble increase, decrease or stay the same?

Justify your answer.

TREE DIAGRAM (We will do this next week)
