Teaser:
There is a new frontier that will impact every facet of society,
from medicine to computers to the environment. As visionaries and
scientists, the 2006 FIRST LEGO League teams will explore unimaginably
amazing new technologies that start in the Nano world and lead to the things
we do and use every day.
Teams will discover the secrets of everyday stuff through this cutting edge field of research, where carbon Nanotubes, Buckyballs, molecular motors and quantum dots will be considered part of daily conversations. Sure it sounds like science fiction, but the future has arrived!
Description:
Imagine a wire as thin as a toothpick that lifts a car off the
ground...
Imagine clothes that never get dirty...
Imagine a world where gravity doesn’t matter...
Imagine a fleet of programmed molecules that find and kill cancer cells,
leaving healthy cells alone…
Imagine going into space on an elevator made of tiny tubes...
What do all of these have in common? Nanotechnology!
FLL teams have been to space, searched the oceans, and explored ways to help humankind. We now zoom from the world we know, through a super high-powered atomic microscope, to the strange world of individual atoms. Here, in a world 100,000 times smaller than the thickness of a strand of hair, everything jumps and shakes.

Sure this sounds like science fiction, but the future has arrived! It's a very small world with big ideas and big debates…
Design Challenges: Here are some good examples of robot design techniques.

A lesson plan about gear types and uses using LEGO gears to illustrate.
introduction to gears lesson.
How Stuff Works
This is a great site for explanations of how things work. It is not a
curricula, and not specific to FIRST LEGO League, but has very good
explanations of general engineering concepts. For example,
How Gears
Work,
How
Gear Ratios Work, and
How
Differentials Work.
