Yes, I've seen e-lab in the catalog, and thought of trying to get one set in
with my other stuff, but the grant was specifically for robotics (because I
wrote it before elab came out....) and I want enough for a whole class.
My curriculum this year will be totally irrelevant. This coming year I will be
teaching biology ( and believe me, this will be the blind leading the blind!)
This is because we are shifting bio from grades 10 to 9 and physical science
from 9 to 10, so this year we have nobody who needs phys. sci. Normally I
teach physical science, which is watered down physics plus watered down
chemistry. So I'm not sure how to work any of this stuff into bio, but I have
to use it for something this school year, according to the grant, so maybe
we'll just have a Play With Lego week, right before Christmas when the kids are
pretty useless anyway. Karen

| Delurking now. Karen, I would think that the RIS would be a fascinating introduction into the relatively new field of artificial life (A-life). Also, the RIS would make a very good introduction into insect behavior, particularly if Braitenburg (...) (25 years ago, 12-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)
