Activities
Students learn about and discuss the benefits of prescribed fires. They write and solve algebraic equations that represent the given scenario. Then, they code Hopper to strategically place equally-spaced dot fires during a prescribed fire simulation with their calculated value.
Learning Objectives
-Participate in a group discussion about the benefits of prescribed fires and how they are set.
-Write and solve algebraic equations based off of the number of dot fires and the distance between each one.
-Accurately code Hopper to fly and hover at each dot fire with the use of loops.
-Use STEM practices to redesign Hopper’s code as needed.
