Introduction (15 minutes):

Discuss the importance of maps and coordinates in navigation

Introduce the concept of map coordinates and explain how they are used to locate specific points on a map.

Display a large grid paper or map on the board and explain the coordinate system.

Relate coordinates to a real-world scenario, such as giving directions using a map

Ozobot Basics (20 minutes):

Introduce the Ozobot, explaining its basic functions and components

Demonstrate how to turn on and calibrate the Ozobot

Briefly explain the Ozobot color code system for programming (e.g., red means stop, green means go).

OzoBlockly Basics (30 minutes):

Have students pair up or work in small groups.

Distribute devices with the OzoBlockly app and guide students through the basics of coding the Ozobot.

Demonstrate how to create a simple code using OzoBlockly to make the Ozobot move forward, turn, and stop.

Provide practice time for students to experiment with basic commands.

Mapping Coordinates with Ozobots (30 minutes):

Distribute map grids or printed maps with coordinates to each group.

Instruct students to choose a starting point on the map and program their Ozobot to navigate through a specific path using coordinates.

Students can design their own paths and challenges to showcase standards and understanding based on expectations.

Reflection (25 minutes):

Have each group or student share their Ozobot's journey with the class.

Discuss challenges faced during the activity and how they were overcome.

Facilitate a class discussion on the importance of precise coding and its real-life applications. (Career Connections)
