Lesson 4

Students work with impact mechanism

It could be a tennis ball on a tripod.

You can also use different objects as a simulated impact

You can try to fill the balloon with water

Strikes can be applied with different strength and in different areas

After the experiments and data obtained, students must protect their brain model using different materials.

Let them make a helmet to protect their model

Sample Materials

• paper
• cardboard
• plastic bags
• the cloth
• plastic

After repeating the experiments with striking again

Presentation of projects

This week the pupils are to present their finished project according to the points below:

• Research report/presentation
• Demonstration of Arduino skills and programming
• Demonstration of the resulting brain model
• Demonstration of designed head protection helmet

Evaluation

PBL assessment criteria:

Problem based learning is a learning method in which students acquire knowledge and skills by working on a single project over a 3- or 4-week period to explore and find the answer to a genuine, interesting and challenging question, problem or challenge (click on PBL Rubrics below).
