Introducing The Lesson

Modified 2020-09-05 by Peyton Strong

Hook:

  • In this lesson we will take an in depth look at the evolution of robotics mechanics and inventions leading up to modern machines.

Teachers can make references to the importance of robots in society from the previous lesson.

Start off by showing this short fun clip on the evolution of Robotics (Wired Episode 1).

Main Lesson

Modified 2020-09-05 by Peyton Strong

Using the information in the student book and through the online resources below, have students do these optional activities:

Exercise: 5-5-5: Have students get into groups, read a section from the student book (or a website) for 5 minutes, write notes bout the important points of it for 5 minutes, and present to the class about it for 5 minutes. This is a quick, interactive way to absorb information.

Have students find images on their own of past technological achievements. Teachers could put various images of old inventions on the board and have students guess what their use is.

Ending The Lesson

Modified 2020-09-05 by Peyton Strong

Exercise: Group research: Students can be tasked to research what robotic technology is being manufactured for the future to share with the class after reading the lesson.
