UT Chattanooga

Robots perform tasks they are programmed to perform. Today Aubrey visits UT Chattanooga to learn about programming robots to do simple tasks.

AIT.3 Determine the best technology and appropriate tool to address a variety of tasks and problems.
ELA: SL.CC.2, W.PDW.6
Mathematics: MP5, MP6
Science & Engineering Practice: Using mathematics and computational thinking

UT Chattanooga

We use math everyday, but not always on paper. Join Aubrey today at UT Chattanooga to see how we use metacognitive thinking everyday.

A. Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, surface area, and volume.

Ellison Technologies

Technology does more today than ever before and will continue to more as we move into the future. Today we learn about some of the programmable technology that creates instrumental pieces to our every day lives and how robots help perform tasks that help create a better quality of life for us.

68-CS-03 Systematically identify and fix problems with computing devices and components. 4a. Students know and use a deliberate design process for generating ideas, testing theories, creating innovative artifacts or solving authentic problems 68-AP-03 Design and iteratively develop programs that combine control structures including nested loops and compound conditionals.

Dyer Observatory/Vanderbilt

Why aren’t there solar and lunar eclipses every month? Join Aubrey today at the Dyer Observatory to learn why and view some exciting

ESS.ESS1: Earth’s Place in the Universe
7) Analyze and interpret data to compare, contrast, and explain the characteristics of objects in the solar system including the sun, planets and their satellites, planetoids, asteroids, and comets. Characteristics include mass, gravitational attraction, diameter, and composition.

Dyer Observatory/Vanderbilt

Join Aubrey at the Dyer Observatory to learn more about rare eclipses and explore the planets in our solar system.

8.ETS1: Engineering Design
2) Research and communicate information to describe how data from technologies (telescopes, spectroscopes, satellites, and space probes) provide information about objects in the solar system and universe.
