// ').append($('.product-single__content').first())); } // ]]> Design and build a hydraulic claw that works just like the games in an arcade. Move the upper cylinder and watch your claw open and close below. We have documents to get you started, but the final claw design up to you. Can you design a claw to pick up specific objects (worms, marshmallows, balls)? Take a look at the photos above for ideas and inspiration. This educational product pairs well with the Junk Drawer Robotics Curriculum and is suitable for all ages, however youth 12 and under may require adult supervision. Activity Documents Click on the flowchart to view documents from each category. Always download the PDF version of documents (unless you need to edit them - then download DOCX). Go Guide: Go Guide: PDF DOCX Give it to your kids and go! This is the essential document to get kids started with the Hydraulic Claw, and it culminates in the Ocean Cleanup Challenge. Labs: Fluid Power Lab: PDF Explore how hydraulic and pneumatic power systems work! Ages 12+. Challenges: Go Guide: PDF DOCX Design your claw to clean the ocean, play "HORSE," or Claw Ball! See the Go Guide document for challenge instructions. Engineering Notebook: Simple Version Full Version Available at two different learning levels, Engineering Notebooks are designed to help kids cycle through the Design & Engineering Process and help them innovate and invent new designs. Use an Engineering Notebook page for each iteration of design. We recommend keeping extra copies of this on-hand for kids during activities. Other Resources: STEAM Market-It Challenge: PDF DOCX Add the STEAM Market-It Challenge to any completed activity to teach kids how to turn their design into a retail product. Kids will learn the 4 'Ps' of marketing - Product, Placement, Price and Promotion. Students have the option of completing a commercial, a billboard or retail packaging as a summative assessment.
