G4LP-7Logical Skills with RoboMind

Lesson Plan Computer Science Logical Skills with RoboMind Class: Period: Mode: Classroom/Lab Teacher: ____________________________________________________________________________________ Learning Support Assistant: ____________________________________________________________ S.M.A.R.T. Learning Objectives By the end of this session, students will be able to: 1. Understand how a task is performed in a sequence. 2. Use RoboMind to write basic instructions. 3. Move the Robo around a map by avoiding any obstacles. 4. Make Robo paint white and black lines. 5. Make Robo pick up items called beacons. 6. Create simple programs involving loops and decision making. Resources 1. Use the eContent to show the animated demos of the lesson. Session Conduction Engage: Ask students how they prepare for their exams. Can they prepare all the chapters in one go or prepare them by reading them chapter-wise? Emphasize the importance of breaking down any task into smaller steps. Next, ask how they change bedsheets. Can they put a new bedsheet down without removing the old one? Can they cook vegetables without heating the oil or without chopping the vegetables? Use the bath and changing clothes examples from the book to explain how the sequence of steps is also important in performing any task. Next, ask how a remote-control car works. Once they describe it, then relate it to how a programmer also writes instructions for computers to perform a task. Concept introduction: RoboMind is a tool used for understanding stepwise thinking, which is used in programming languages, robotics, and artificial intelligence. In

RobomMind, we learn to program by writing commands to move a robot around on a map. The robot can move, paint white or black lines, pick up items called \"beacons,\" and check for paths, obstacles, etc. Concept Demo/Explanation: Ask students how a lift works. Tell them the concept of whoever calls the lift button first, the lift will stop there. Can a calculator add without feeding any numbers? Have they wondered how a robot works? Relate these examples to emphasize how we need to specifically tell computers what task to perform. These instructions need to be written in a specific way for computers to understand. Download RoboMap and open it from the Star menu. Walkthrough the interface of RoboMap. Open any map. Make Robo move left and right and ask students to observe what instruction is coming on the instruction pane. These instructions are for the Robo to understand what they have to do. Next, demonstrate the steps to develop simple programs to: • Create simple program automatically. • Save the program. • Moving the robot repeatedly (loops) • Making decisions while controlling the robot (if, if-else) Concept Practice: Complete the exercises given in the Lab Activity section. Optional Activity: Students can visit https://www.robomindacademy.com/site/help.html and find out more about RoboMind interface. Practical Application: Discuss brain jogger activities with students. Ask students to complete Lab Masti exercises. Home Assignments 1. Revise the topic covered. 2. Practice the interactive exercises in Edusoft Smart App. 3. Solve any additional exercises on playground.edusoft.co.in

Guided Assignment Ask students to visit https://www.robomind.net/en/docBasicInstructions.htm for further details. Evaluation After completing the lesson solve the exercises given in the book.
