Students are introduced to the concept of remote sensing and consider how the five senses humans have are the same or different from what sensors can do.
Students learn about how sensors are used in everyday life. Then, students create a hygrometer.
Building upon their understanding of sensors, students learn about LiDAR and engage in an activity that models how LiDAR works.
Students learn about smart objects and consider the functions that make an object “smart” (sensors!) before planning and creating a model of a smart object.
