Teacher Notes (not visible to students)

Teachers will assemble two Dash robots - one with the bulldozer and one with the ball launcher. You can have students help with the coding or if you're short for time, you can use the Project Key T8P2 in Blockly. Run the code first for the ball launcher and allow students to record their predictions/results in SeeSaw. Collect the balls and put them in front of the Dash with the bulldozer and run the second code. Again, have the students record predictions/results in page 2 of the activity. If you have time, you can explore changing Dash's drive speed or ball launch power to see how it affects the balls' motion.
