Driving Module: Guided Lesson Plan =================================== Objectives: - Students will understand basic robot driving and differential steering. - Students will write and test simple driving programs. Materials: - Robots (one per group) - Computers/tablets with programming environment - Printed Driving Worksheets - Markers/tape for floor courses Lesson Outline: 1. Introduction (5 min) - Discuss real-world robots and how they move. 2. Concept Overview (10 min) - Explain differential steering and robot movement. 3. Demonstration (5 min) - Show robot driving straight, turning, and making a square. 4. Student Activity (20 min) - Students complete the Driving Worksheet and program their robots. - Encourage experimentation with wheel speeds and paths. 5. Group Discussion (5 min) - Share challenges and solutions. Assessment: - Review completed worksheets. - Observe robot performance on a simple course. - Ask students to explain how changing wheel speeds affects movement.
