Pitsco T-Bot II Hydraulic Arm - Teacher's Guide

The Pitsco 59727 T-Bot II Teacher's Guide by Tim Cannell (ISBN: 1-58651-926-3) provides instructions, lesson plans, worksheets, tests, puzzles, and resource pages for teaching science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) activities based on the Pitsco T-Bot II hydraulic arm project (sold separately). Students learn STEM concepts including the Cartesian coordinate system, simple machines, basic programming, mechanical advantage, and electromagnetism through the provided lessons and hands-on activities. The guide includes six lessons for grades 6-8 and 9-12, and it addresses how the lessons and activities meet standards set by the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), the International Technology and Engineering Educators Association (ITEEA), and the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE). The 105-page guide is paperback and spiral-bound for ease of use. A teacher's guide is typically used in an educational setting to complement lesson plans and provides supplemental activities for students.

Science education products incorporate applied math and science principles into classroom and homeschool-based projects. Teachers in pre-K, elementary, and secondary classrooms use science education kits and products alongside science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum to demonstrate STEM concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities. Science education projects include a broad range of activities, such as practical experiments in engineering, aeronautics, robotics, energy, chemistry, physics, biology, and geology.
