Role Assignments:
Materials Manager/Timekeeper: This person must grab the Lego kits and
bring the necessary materials to the group. They will bring the color pencils
and Engineering Journals. As timekeeper they must make sure that the
Data Recorder/ Reporter: This persons job is to help develop design and
program the robot in order to accomplish course. They save the program on
the computer and record the accomplishments and challenges in the
Engineering Log.
Traveler/Spy: This persons job is to see how others are programming the
robot and how their designs make other robots accomplish the task given.
Task: After students have built there Robot, they will ask to maneuver there robot
through a series of obstacles on a course with various challenges.
Time Limit: 60 + minutes per day for 2 weeks
Level of Voice: Classroom Level 2- Normal Voice Table Talk
Learning Goals/ Objectives:
Apply practical math and scientific concepts while learning design, mechanical
construction, and computer programming.
Learn to read and follow directions carefully.
Visualize, think, and problem solve in a three dimensional perspective.
Discover properties and use of basic electronic light, rotation, touch, and
temperature sensors.
Materials:
Extend (3 days) Students will be asked to figure out other alternatives to get their
robot to the end of the course. They may want to shorten their program or use other
commands to make the robot get to the end. They may also want to start timing
how fast the robot completed the course and find a quicker way to complete the
course.
Evaluate: (2 days) The students and teacher will determine what has been learned
throughout the whole lesson.
1. Students will revisit their original plans and predictions on how they were going to
finish the course. Also they will see if they had to make any modification to their
robot or program in order to complete the task and course.
2. Students will evaluate the participation of their team members through the group
evaluation checklist.
STEM integration: This lesson integrates Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics. Students will show and explain how they were able to program and
measure the obstacle course in order for their robot to successfully finish the course
they designed. They will show and demonstrate the program and have the robot
complete the course they created.
