Vex V5 Basic Parts Labels
These are simple labels I created to help organize my VEX V5 parts. This list has the parts available as of Dec 2018. I will update as they release more parts. This is downloadable as a MS word document so you can scale the images to sizes that fit your containers. It's organized into a table. I'm not a professional TPTer... just trying to save some other some time : )

LEGO Gears Activity
Simple machines have been the building blocks of more complex machines throughout the years. The gear is one of the most fundamental of the simple machines. Gears can help transfer power, increase or decrease speed and/or power, and change the direction of movement by simply working together. Your students can experience gears through this activity as they build FOUR different gear sets .1) Understanding how connected gears affect direction.2) Compound Gear Train - gear input and output on

Robotic Hand STEM Challenge
STEM Challenge!Students are challenged to create a robotic hand from general classroom supply materials that will be able to pick up a cotton ball without manual assistance. This lab supports knowledge of the muscular and skeletal systems of the human body as well as the engineering process.They will define the problem, do background research, specify requirements, brainstorm, evaluate, prototype, and test their product. A Collins Type 3 writing assignment concludes the lab.

A Coding and Content Math Lab: Area and Perimeter
This two-day lesson aligned to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills standards for Grade 4 and combines both coding and content to reinforce the ideas of area, perimeter, linear measurement, and angle measurement. The lesson is written to be used with Wonder Workshop's Dash robot though a robot is not required to complete the math tasks. The tasks are scaffolded to build a student’s understanding of the mathematical concepts throughout the lesson’s progression. From how to use a ruler to u

Vex Sending Program to Robot Instructions Handout/Template
I got tired of answering the same questions over and over.... so I've started creating "template" items for my VEX robotics classroom. These are 1 page helpers for students. This item is sold by itself and as part of my VEX Helper Template Bundle.
I would recommend laminating this and then making an area ( I use a wall hanging basket) to keep all of your templates in so students can answer their own questions. I will be adding to this section as I continue to make more Templates.

A funnel for wave: Nature of Waves
The lab and reading activity introduces students to NASA DSN. Students will learn the difficulties experienced by NASA DSN (Deep Space Network) while communicating with a mobile machine residing on another celestial body. Using their cone students will investigate how NASA overcome communication difficulties with a mobile machine residing on another celestial body. This activity takes place during robotics club meeting to introduce students to sound sensor. The activity have been adapted to

Physics: Faraday's Electromagnetic Laboratory
Michael Faraday's formulas and calculations concerning electromagnetism are quite complex. These concepts are still explored at the University level, to the amazement and bewilderment of many a college student (and even professors!). This lab breaks down the complexity of many of Faraday's ideas into smaller and more easily understood concepts. Utilizing the excellent PhET simulation from the University of Colorado, this lab has several different sections for students to explore electromagnetism

Homeostasis Robot - Micro:bit - Balance Bots
I created this activity to go along with a lesson on homeostasis. Students work together in groups of 2-4 to build a robot that senses its tilt and tries to stay balanced. To accommodate a simple design, the robot does not completely balance itself. Rather, it shifts its weight to help you balance it.I have them work on this for parts of class over 3-4 class periods.Requirements per team1 micro:bit (v1 or v2)3 alligator - pin wires1 S90 directional micro servo1 micro:bit battery pack3 AAA batter

Tags for VEX EDR Sensors and Motors
Looking to get your VEX classroom organized? These tags can make all the difference. I've created a table of every VEX part - this is the Sensors and Motors parts download. These can be printed as is or edited to fit your containers. Just print ( color works best) and tape to your containers. You will be amazed at how much cleaner your build room stays and how fewer questions you get from students about parts locations.

General Electronics Assessment #3
Ideal as a supplement to your Physics or Electronics class, General Electronics Assessment #3 has students using the fundamental aspects of voltage, amperage, power, and resistance (both series and parallel) to determine numerical values for each. Slightly less rigorous than General Electronics Assessments #1 and #2, this activity can take your student's understanding of Ohm's Law and parallel circuitry to an entirely new level of proficiency as they grow in their confidence with solving these s

Engineering Lab Sheet
This engineering lab sheet is perfect for projects that require students to log and document their product designs and redesigns. It provides space for students to write down their ideas and materials.I used this during an after-school club where students created projects using recycled materials and they needed to log all their information on this document.
