Lego Mindstorms EV3 Robotics Parts Activity
I use this cut and sort activity to get my robotics students thinking about the correct title of each part and its function. It really helps when they know what you mean when you are talking to them about "adding a bushing to that axle" or "use a beam to attach your sensor." I have found it to be a really helpful introductory activity.

VEX EDR Engineering Notebook Planner
After several seasons of arguing with my teams about their Engineering notebooks I developed this task list. It includes all of the items and topics needed for your team to produce a winning notebook.I've made this a word document download so you can edit it. It has made a huge difference in the quality of our notebooks and helped my students and myself meet time frames for completing notebook tasks. I usually give each team a copy of this and have them complete it then hang in the classroom
