Students will use Sphero to conduct an experiment. They will identify how long they need Sphero to move at 10% speed to reach and knock over a target object (such as a whiteboard marker). Using this information, they will then calculate how long Sphero will need to move at higher speeds to reach the same target. Finally, they will be given a bowling challenge where they can use any speed they like to knock over as many "pins" (whiteboard markers) as they can. In the challenge, they will record their results and then they will determine the mean, median, and mode of the results from the entire class.
