Lesson Plan

1. Prepare

  • Read through the student material in the EV3 Classroom App.
  • Collect some information about how the Ultrasonic Sensor works.
  • You’ll need a measuring tape to measure out where to place the Cuboid in this lesson.
  • To complete this lesson, the students will have to have built the Driving Base model, which will take about 30 minutes.

2. Engage (5 Min.)

  • Use the ideas in the Ignite a Discussion section below to engage your students in a discussion related to this lesson.
  • Split your class into pairs.

3. Explore (20 Min.)

  • Have each pair of students build the Cuboid, and the Ultrasonic Sensor extension for their Driving Base.
  • Give the students some time to use the programming stacks provided to explore how the Ultrasonic Sensor can be used.

4. Explain (5 Min.)

  • Facilitate a discussion about how the Ultrasonic Sensor can be used to measure distance.

5. Elaborate (15 Min.)

  • Challenge your students to program their Driving Bases to beep faster or louder as it gets closer to the Cuboid.
  • Don’t forget to leave some time for cleanup.

6. Evaluate

  • Give feedback on each student’s performance.
  • You can use the assessment rubrics provided to simplify the process.

Ignite a Discussion

Modular robots are useful because they can be extended and reconfigured to perform a wide range of tasks. Adding sensors enables them to react to their environment so that they can do things like detect obstacles and avoid collisions.

engage-1-2

Use these questions to engage your students in a discussion about robots that can detect objects:

  • Do you know of any robots that can detect objects?
  • Why is it useful for robots to be able to detect objects?
  • What’s ultrasound, and how does an Ultrasonic Sensor work?

Building Tips

Building Instructions

Keep the Driving Base assembled after use, rather than taking it apart.

Differentiation

Simplify this lesson by:

  • Spending extra time explaining how to use the Ultrasonic Sensor

Take this lesson to the next level by:

  • Challenging your students to program an autonomous robot that avoids obstacles
  • Having your students change the Ultrasonic Sensor to a Touch Sensor for detecting obstacles

Assessment Opportunities

Teacher Observation Checklist
Create a scale that matches your needs, for example:

  1. Partially accomplished
  2. Fully accomplished
  3. Overachieved

Use the following success criteria to evaluate your students’ progress:

  • Students can use the Ultrasonic Sensor to detect an object.
  • Students can change the parameters of the Ultrasonic Sensor Blocks to detect different distances.
  • Students can expand their program to react dynamically to the detected distance.

Self-Assessment
Have each student choose the level that they feel best represents their performance.

  • Bronze: I’ve used the Ultrasonic Sensor to stop at an object.
  • Silver: I’ve used the Ultrasonic Sensor to detect the distance to an object.
  • Gold: I’ve made one aspect of the program react dynamically to the distance to an object.
  • Platinum: I’ve made several aspects of the program react dynamically to the distance to an object.

Language Arts Extension

To integrate language arts skills development:

  • Have your students prepare and deliver a presentation about how Ultrasonic Sensors work.

Note: This will make for a longer lesson.

Students who enjoyed this lesson might be interested in exploring these career pathways:

  • Manufacturing and Engineering (Machine Technology)
  • Manufacturing and Engineering (Pre-Engineering)

Understand ordering and absolute value of rational numbers.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.NS.C.7.A
Interpret statements of inequality as statements about the relative position of two numbers on a number line diagram. For example, interpret -3 > -7 as a statement that -3 is located to the right of -7 on a number line oriented from left to right.
