Lesson Ideas

RobotLab Blood Flow Lesson

Check out this RobotLab lesson Blood Flow for grades 3-6 where students will code robots to mimic how blood flows through the heart and the body with a focus on the process of oxygenating blood.
RobotLab offers a platform called EngageK12 which offers lesson-plans for any subject, any age-group and any robot by browsing categories. You can use free text to search based on keywords, or even Common Core, NGSS or TEKS standards. This lesson is one of their free lessons within the platform.

Check out Ashley Schmidt’s Writing ideas utilizing Ozobot:

  • Have your students create story maps/graphic organizers/etc before writing their story using an Ozobot.
  • Students will create a map of important story events and code their Ozobot to travel to the events in the correct order.
  • Students will use a setting planning page and code Ozobot to travel to each different setting in their story in the order that they  appear.

Social Studies lessons using ozobot

Check out Ashley Schmidt’s Social Studies Lesson with Ozobot:

  • Create the quickest route that reaches the six features (James River, Appalachian Mountains, Mississippi River, Rio Grande River, Rocky Mountains, and Great Lakes).
  • Create a timeline of a Famous American’s life that includes at least 6 important events.
  • Design a flight route that travels to all seven continents!
  • Label the five regions in the US on a blank map.
  • What types of resources are needed to make goods or provide services? (Human, natural, & capital resources). Code your Ozobot to travel to each type of resource and ultimately make it to your final good/service.

Ozobot’s team offers four weeks of remote-friendly, standards-aligned lessons for core subjects, allowing students to learn ELA, Math, and more without sacrificing STEAM learning. Whether your school is fully remote, learning in-person, or a hybrid of both, these flexible lessons will help save you time! The lesson creator, Melissa Toohey from the Ozobot Education Team, walkes through the remote-friendly format (including instructional videos for self-guided learning and Google Classroom integration) and the first set of lessons (introducing students to coding with Ozobot).

Ozobot regularly releases remote-friendly lessons that are flexible for in-person instruction, so keep an eye on their webinar calendar for PD opportunities to learn about lesson releases here.

Math Fact Fluecy practice with ozobot

Check out Ashley Schmidt’s lesson on math fact fluency:

  • Create a template for students to use that addresses math fact fluency skills (addition/subtraction or multiplication/division). Can students create a route that answers the missing addend/subtrahend questions using at least one code per line?
  • Create a fact family home by writing your 3 numbers in a triangle formation. Have students write the problems created with it to the side. Use at least three codes when designing the route to each number.
  • Can you show others how to problem solve? Have students create a “How To ______” page, which covers your current math skill. For example, how to use Touch Point Money. Have students illustrate a picture and write an explanation. Create a path for the Ozobot that helps the reader read the steps in sequential order.

These completely free teaching resources give students an opportunity to reconstruct the short stories from The Tweeting Galah cybersafety book, written by Kim Maslin, using Ozobots as the main character.  The story maps are differentiated for different age groups and skill levels, also including an extension activity for stronger students.
