Put a twist on the classic "aluminum foil boat" science project with this lesson plan. Normally you would build a boat and keep adding pennies until the boat sinks. Instead, here you will try to carry a fixed number of pennies in the boat, while dropping a ball into the water from higher and higher heights, creating bigger and bigger waves. Can your boat survive the stormy seas? See this page for written instructions for the lesson plan:…
Add RGB LED lighting to your next Arduino project! This video will show you how to individually control the brightness of red, green, and blue LEDs on an analog strip so you can mix colors. Note that unlike digital strips, the LEDs on these analog strip are not individually addressable - that is a topic for a different video!
