 Lego WeDo 1.0 Lesson PlansLesson 1: Glowing Snail and Cooling Fan-> Introduction to Robotics, explanation of what it is and why it is useful to us. -> Introduction to the kit: the pieces and programming blocks, lego piece management, equipment care. -> Team Roles: Programmer, Builder, Project Manager-> Glowing Snail: Programming Colour Change, Basic Building Practice-> Cooling Fan: Introduction of Motor, Programming Speed, Programming StopLesson 2: Moving Satellite and/or Spy Robot-> Moving Satellite: Programming Direction, Programming Duration-> Spy Robot: Introduction of Object Sensor, Programming Sensor ActivationLesson 3: Milo the Science Rover + Add Motion Sensor + Tilt Sensor Communication + Optional Collaboration (Requires 2 Completed Milos)-> Introduction to a Moving Robot, Sensor + Motor Programming, Communication Programming, Using the Tilt Sensor to ControlLesson 4: Pulling Bot (1. Guided Science Project)-> Introduction to Pulling, New Building Techniques, Differences between types of Tires, Weight vs. PowerLesson 5: Speed Race Car (2. Guided Science Project)-> Speed and Aerodynamics, Programming the Car to Start and Stop Automatically, Car Speed Races!Lesson 6: Robust Structures (3. Guided Science Project)-> Introduction to Structural Integrity. Introduction to Programming Automatic Repeated Increases in Motor PowerLesson 7: Frog’s Metamorphosis (4. Guided Science Project)-> Animal Adaptation, Creating Frog-Like Movement, Sensors can be added to create a more realistic animal-type interaction. Lesson 8: Plants and Pollinators (5. Guided Science Project)-> Program a Bee to Stop at the Flower and Create a Buzzing Sound, Advanced Building Techniques, Explanation of the relationship between plants and animals. Lego WeDo 2.0 Lesson PlansLesson 1: Guided Projects -Science: Preventing FloodingRefresh on the robot parts, and lego piece management.Describe precipitation, flooding, and some ways to prevent a flood.Building and programming a flood gate, controlled by a motor, and works by specific changes in the weather. Lesson 2: Guided Projects -Science: Drop and RescueExplain some weather hazards that occur in the world and what can be done to minimize the negative impacts of these hazards.Build a helicopter with a pulley system connected to a motor, that is used to pull and rescue objects.Program the helicopter to pull up the object, and place it back down in a safe location.Lesson 3: Guided Projects -Science: Sort to Recycle Explain recycling, how we recycle, and why it's important for the environment. Build a truck that can hold recyclable objects in its storage unit, and is powered by a motor to move the truck’s bed.After the building part is complete, program the trucks motor to move enough to drop the recycled objects off from the truck’s bed.Lesson 4: Guided Projects -Computational Thinking: Moon BaseBuilding a moon rover robot, which has its movement powered by a motor, the robot also has an arm that can catch objects coming into the robot.Program the robot to move backwards and forwards on the moon and catching the objects, also test different speeds with the motor. Lesson 5: Guided Projects -Computational Thinking: Grabbing ObjectsBuild a grabber robot, and explain how important technology that grabs is in a real life scenario, giving examples of prosthetic arms, construction vehicles, and other heavy machinery. Program the arm, which uses a motor to move the parts, and a sensor to tell the robot when to open and close the arm, the sample code should suffice. Test out the arm with different objects and even try to customize the code.Lesson 6: Guided Projects -Computational Thinking: Send MessagesIn this lesson we use the tilt sensor to send out messages, along with a joystick to help use tilt the sensor to send whatever message we want.We can program the robot to change colors, or make a sound whenever the tilt is on.Lesson 7: Guided Projects -Computational Thinking: Volcano AlertVolcanoes can pose as big and terrible treats, and stoppoin one from erupting could be hard, so today we will be building a volcano alarm system.Think of something that a volcano does that can be sensed before and when its erupting, in this case, its shaking. Program your alarm to sense shaking, and make a noise which alarms people.Lesson 8: Open Projects -Computational Thinking: InspectionAfter learning, experimenting, and developing your robot building abilities, we can use that knowledge to create an open project.You will look at the examples given and base your own self made creation on the robot designs given, along with the previous ones we built.Create your own robot to solve a certain problem, such as rescue, or collecting objects, or pulling objects, etc. Use your imagination along with your refined robot building abilities. ................
