    This lesson combines engineering, math and computer science. Students will make a plan and then create their maze using different recyclable materials. After creating their maze, they will program an ozobot using ozoblockly to travel through their maze. The lesson file includes a maze planning sheet, a letter for parents and a lesson rubric for easy student assessment.

    3. Direct Instruction (Teacher-Facing Instructions)

    These are the steps the educator will read. Include any front loading, modeling or explicit instruction before students work independently or in groups.

    Instruction

    Give each student a 10 inch by 10 inch poster square, ruler and pencil. Instruct the students on how to draw the grid on the poster square using a ruler. Each square will be one square inch.

    Instruction

    Give each student a plastic baggie filled with recyclable materials to build their maze. They can use these materials or materials from home to build their maze. You can also lay out materials and have the students select the materials that they would like to use in their maze. They can use either masking tape or hot glue (with parental support) to attach their materials to the poster square.

    Instruction

    Give each student a maze planning sheet. They will take out their materials and lay them out on the poster square in the location that they would like them to be. Then, they will need to sketch out their plan on the first sheet (maze planning sheet). They will need to write the name of the item that they used (example: straw) and then write the location of where they will place the item (example: A1-D1) in the maze key.

    Instruction

    After the students plan out their design, they can start to attach the pieces to the poster board. They may use tape, glue or they can use hot glue with parental support. Some materials that they might want to use in their maze are cardboard pieces, cardboard paper towel rolls, unused straws, and other recyclable materials.

    Instruction

    Model how to measure a distance in centimeters and then how to convert those centimeters into millimeters. The ozoblockly program will measure distance in millimeters in the advanced level. Also, you may need to review how to load the ozoblockly program onto the ozobot and how to get the robot to run the program.

    4. Student Practice (Student-Facing Instructions)

    These are step-by-step instructions delivered directly to the students as they work independently or in groups

    Student Instructions

    Instruction

    The students will work independently or with a partner to program their ozobot to travel through their maze. They will use a ruler or measuring tape to measure each distance that the ozobot will need to travel. They will also need to calculate the degree of each angle in their maze. They may also use rotate right or left found in the beginning or intermediate levels of ozoblockly. During this process, students will need to test out their program and make changes if their program is unsuccessful. Students are also able to add a solid black line to parts of their maze.

    Goal

    Lesson Extension (Optional)

    Add student instructions for a lesson extension.

    Instruction

    Once the students are able to program their ozobot to travel successfully through at least half of their maze, they can continue to program it to travel through the whole maze. Students can also add light effects or program a "touch down" style dance to the end of their program.
