Read the Newsela article "Cockroach Robot." What search terms might you use to conduct more research to understand some of the topics in this article better? What would you hope to learn in your research? How can this article help you in your STEAM project? Respond to at least two other student entries.

A search term I would use to conduct data would be," What other insects can do the same things a cockroach can do with their body's?" I would hope to learn about another insect and if they are a better model for the robot and if they can do different and more interesting things. This article can help me with my STEAM project because in the article it says how they made the model with different items such as cardboard, electronics, polyester, and the knowledge of origami. This can help me by expanding my view on what items would work and what items I could use for STEAM.

Yes, I would want to study bugs like cockroaches that can squish in tiny places.

I would also want to know if the robot can do various interesting things because if I wanted to buy it, I would want to know that.

very good it makes me want to learn about insects more than I already do and it is a very good idea.

I agree with you on the way it would help with steam but i disagree with your search term because the article states that cockroaches have advantages because they can squish through small cracks and withstand 900 times their size.

I agree that the roach-bot will help with STEAM because I personally didn't use any origami whatsoever but will try to make a housing with it.

I agree, even though I'm not in your STEAM group, that it could expand our view on what materials can work.

A robot that is small can make a big difference like less then $100 can save lives. We don't want people to die from a fallen building. We want to have a world were we can save people from terrible disasters without getting more people hurt! we can use the robot roach to see stuff us humans cant. We can have something little like a small robot make a big difference!

I agree with you Garret because a robot being able to withstand the weight of a building would just be incredible and it could help during a natural disaster.

I agree with you both, the cockroach is a amazing creature and if we can use the structure of it's body to help people in a natural disaster.

I agree with you because we actually do want to save other people with out having firefighters or police getting hurt while trying to save other people.

I agree with you because the police or firefighter might be far away and the emergency was bad so if the random person had that robot cockroach, then it would be freaky for a cockroach to save your life,but at least you get saved.

I agree with you Garrett because with a robot only $100, it can save your life multiple times and going to a hospital costs a lot more.

A search term I would search up to understand the topics better is how can cockroaches squish their little bodies into very tiny spaces. I would search this up because in the story it didn't really state how they could do that. What I would like to learn in my research is how the amazing cockroaches can get into very little spaces. This article can help me in my STEAM project is that it can give me a little more inspiration and new ideas.

To conduct more research on this topic, I would use the term"The cockroach robot." It would help me learn what made scientists conduct this study. In my research, I would hope to learn how cockroaches withstand all the weight without injury. I would also like to learn how scientists are going to build a robot without squashing any of their equipment.The article can help my team with our STEAM project because it can help us know how to build what we need to build, but make it indestructible.

I agree with you when you state that you want to learn how cockroaches survive a ton of weight without getting injured because maybe there is something in the cockroach's body that give them strength to do those types of things.

Some terms that are usable for understanding the topic better could be "cockroach" "cockroach strength and speed" "CRAM" or "Cockroach Robot." I hope to learn while researching more about insects or C.R.A.M. itself. This article can help with our STEAM projects because it can make it easier model the machine or it may give any ideas.

My search term would be "cockroach robot " or "the cockroach robot " so people could understand more from listening to the name . The robot is called CRAM . The article would help my group and I in STEAM because oragomi is a good idea for a model and then it would be easier to figure out what to put in our project.

The cockroach bot can be a useful bot that can save others lives and maybe the scientist should make it get information where people cannot( for instance, space, deep down in the earth, etc.) travel. Since they said it costs less than $100, people should buy those because if they get injured,the roach bot can carry them and they won't have to walk.

I think can be helped for our steam because it tells you about the design. It even has a photo that doesn't cover all the mechanics so it's giving you a tip saying the design doesn't have to be perfect.

Since there was no part that I did not understand, I would use the search term "Cockroach robot making process" to learn more about the process and the reason cockroach robots were created. The article about the cockroach robot would help me with my STEAM project because I can start to look at real designs of our prototypes.

Some search terms I might use to conduct more research to understand the topics are: 1.How does a cockroach go threw tiny holes? 2.How can a cockroach become small? I hope to learn what makes a cockroach become small and how they can fit threw tiny holes. Also what body parts help them to become tiny. The article can help me with my STEAM project because they made something in such a little amount of time and when we do our project we spend a ton of time. So it could help me think, that our project doesn't have to be perfect. This is because if we spend time on making it perfect and making it look nice we won't have time to actually making the function work.

I would hope to see what other bug related robots look like and to see details of a cockroach. It can help me in my STEAM project so I can see how to use my detail like how similar the robot is to the bug
