Robotics Projects Coding and Robotics Primary 3 First Term Lesson Notes Week 11

Lesson Plan: Coding/Robotics Primary 3 First Term, Week 11

Subject: Coding/Robotics
Class: Primary 3
Term: First Term
Week: 11
Age: 7 years
Topic: Robotics Projects
Sub-topic: Creating and Presenting Simple Robotics Projects
Duration: 40 minutes

Behavioral Objectives

By the end of the lesson, pupils should be able to:

1. Define what a robotics project is.
2. Identify basic components needed for a simple robotics project.
3. Create a simple robotics project using provided materials.
4. Present their project to the class.

Keywords

• Robotics
• Projects
• Components
• Presentation

Set Induction

Show images or short videos of simple robotics projects in action, such as a robot moving objects or following a path. Discuss with students what they see and what they think the robot is doing.

Entry Behavior

Students should have basic knowledge of robots, simple programming concepts, and how to work in small groups.

Learning Resources and Materials

• Robotics kits (building blocks, motors, sensors)
• Pictures/videos demonstrating robotics projects
• Whiteboard and markers for brainstorming

Building Background/Connection to Prior Knowledge

Review previous lessons on programming robots, problem-solving with coding, and basic robotics concepts. Relate these concepts to the creation of their own robotics projects.

Embedded Core Skills

• Creativity
• Collaboration
• Problem-solving

Learning Materials

• Lagos State Scheme of Work for Primary 3
• Visual aids demonstrating robotics project components

Reference Books

• Lagos State Scheme of Work for Primary 3

Instructional Materials

• Robotics kits (provided for hands-on activities)
• Visual aids (diagrams, posters) showing robotics project examples

Content

1. Introduction to Robotics Projects
   • Explain what a robotics project is and its importance.
   • Discuss examples of simple robotics projects (e.g., moving robots, light-following robots).
2. Components of a Robotics Project
   • Identify and explain basic components (e.g., motors, sensors, building blocks).
   • Discuss how each component contributes to the functionality of the robot.
3. Creating a Simple Robotics Project
   • Divide students into small groups.
   • Provide each group with a robotics kit and task them with creating a simple robot (e.g., a robot that moves forward and backward).
4. Presentation
   • Each group presents their robotics project to the class.
   • Students explain the function of their robot and demonstrate its operation.

Presentation

• Step 1: Revisit the concept of robotics projects.
• Step 2: Introduce components and how they contribute to project functionality.
• Step 3: Guide students in creating their own simple robotics projects.
• Step 4: Facilitate presentations where each group showcases their project.

Teacher’s Activities

• Guide students through the creation process.
• Facilitate discussions on project ideas and troubleshooting.
• Provide feedback during presentations.

Learners’ Activities

• Work collaboratively in groups to assemble robotics projects.
• Practice presenting their projects confidently and clearly.

Assessment

• Evaluate each group’s robotics project based on creativity, functionality, and presentation skills.

Conclusion

• Summarize key learnings about robotics projects.
• Encourage students to explore more robotics activities outside the classroom.
