- More Bots can be used to demonstrate a variety of social distancing scenarios; however, be mindful that some schools may not be permitted to use collaborative teaching in these uncertain times. The Ozobots can all be programmed and started by a single student. We had a student and parent from the same household start the Bots for taping purposes only.
- This lesson can be performed by intermediate students and up, but can then be presented to lower level classes. Higher level students can create their own coding sequence.
- Masks can be made for the Bots to expand on additional scenarios with probable outcomes. This can evolve into lessons on social etiquette and probability!
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
Each group is given three Ozobots. Using the provided OzoBlockly program, students are to code their Bots. In groups of three, the Bot movements must be tested for accuracy to obtain the desired outcome. Example: The Bot (green) moves in a specific pattern that will avoid the infected Bot (red). Another healthy Bot (green) will move to make contact with the infected Bot (red) and thus become infected. As students become more familiar with OzoBlockly, they may edit the code to design their own sequences.
NOTE: If other scenarios are also devised such a quarantine or no social distancing, these can be shared with the class. These demonstrations are meant to teach staff and students about the significance of social distancing, infectious disease, and of course, Ozobot technology!

Goal
Instruction
Students are to code the Bots. They must then test their program with the others in their group to determine the length and time needed for the program to be successful. If time permits, the coding can be edited for more complexity. Again, you must know the directions and number of steps your Bots must make to touch or avoid an infected Bot. Though you are coding independently, you must continue to collaborate and test your patterns with the others in the group.

A. Lesson Closure (Optional)
Give tips for how to wrap up the lesson and assess student learning. (Want to add an attachment? Use Part C, below.)
The results of this lesson can be shared with other grades, both lower or higher, to help in the understanding of this important topic. This lesson also encourages students to become comfortable with OzoBlockly and how it can be used to help visualize other real world issues and concepts.
