Sphero by Molly Jones



In the learning commons, there is a neat new piece of technology called a Sphero. Not only is it great for science experiments, but it is also extremely fun, and super cool! After playing with them, I have a lot to share!
            The Sphero device is basically a sphere with a motor inside. It hooks up to Bluetooth on the I pads, and you can drive it around. It hooks up to all sorts of devices, can be used as a game controller, and even jumps ramps!
            I think this device would be neat for a science experiment where you changed the surface of the ramp it jumps, and see which surface gained better traction. You could perform many different experiments like this, and make your science projects super fun!
            I think the Sphero is a great learning opportunity, and I am so excited to see what kids can do with this, and think it would be great to use with the scientific method in the 6th grade! Have fun learning with the Sphero!
