Line Following Module: Guided Lesson Plan

Objectives: - Students will understand how line sensors work and the basics of line following algorithms. - Students will program robots to follow a line using on/off and proportional control.

Materials: - Robots with line sensors - Computers/tablets with programming environment - Printed Line Following Worksheets - Black tape or printed line courses

Lesson Outline: 1. Introduction (5 min)

• Discuss where line following is used in real life (e.g., factories, delivery robots).

2. Concept Overview (10 min) - Explain line sensors and control strategies.

3. Demonstration (5 min) - Show robot following a line using different methods.

4. Student Activity (20 min) - Students complete the Line Following Worksheet and program their robots. - Experiment with different control strategies.

5. Group Discussion (5 min) - Share what worked and what didn’t.

Assessment: - Review completed worksheets. - Observe robots on a line course. - Ask students to describe how their code works and how the robot responds to the line.
