Start brushing on the top of your mouth on one side, but don’t brush too hard.

>>RACHEL: What type of technology makes that sound? Shout it out:

Sonar is a technology that uses sound to sense where objects are located. When a machine sends out a sonar sound, the sound bounces back, or echos..

[SWITCH BELL]


>>RACHEL: Robots use sensors to get a sense of the world around them. Cameras are a type of sensor used by robots to help them see. Flying robots called drones use cameras to help humans see from way up in the sky…
