Classes with students, Teacher's Note

Body

Due to the limmited time for todays class it is nice to keep track of the time for constructing. In advance, before the class starts, build and prepare the cargo load that the robots are lifting. Do not leave this task to the students, because they will not have enough time to complete their tasks.
In this lesson the theory is divided between the different tasks. Despite this it is a good practice both of the tools for the forklift to be assembled and placed at the same time, starting with the middle motor.
When the students reach the section with tasks "Challenge: Automated transportation with a robot" you would gather them at a single place and show them what the robot is expected to do. If they find it difficult to keep the load on the robot you could allow them to do small modifications to the construction.

Level A2. "Space exploration". Robotics with LEGO

The second level of the Robotics with LEGO curriculum for students in second, third or fourth grades.

A new sensor is introduced - the Ultrasonic distance sensor can help the robot avoid obstacles. Students work with new concepts like loop, degrees and medium motor.
