    C. Lesson Tips (Optional)

    Add tips for the educator that don't fit into Direct Instruction or Student Practice. You can always return to this page to add more.

    • Groups of 2-3 work best, groups of 4 should be broken into 2 pairs.
    • Do not allow students a new sheet of paper if they make a mistake. Teach them to edit using stickers.
    • Have students continually test their code as they go through the process.

    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

    Introduce the phases of the moon. Show students how the moon phases work, with "light on the right/right ON/wax on" and "light on the left, left OFF, wane off."

    Instruction

    Introduce the concepts of the tides being tied to the position of the moon and the collective effect of the moon and sun's gravity on the Earth. Make sure students connect Spring Tides with New Moon and Full Moon phases, and Neap Tides with 1st and 3rd Quarter Moons.

    Instruction

    Show students various models of the Moon/Sun/Earth relationship. Explain to students that they will be developing a model of the journey the Moon takes around the Earth, and how the tides are affected. They will be narrating the journey of the moon, describing how it is lit as well as how the Earth's tides are affected.

    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

    Students, you will be creating a model of the moon phases. We have just learned about how the moon travels around the Earth, while the Earth travels around the sun. In between each moon phase, your ozobot should perform a minimum of 2 "tricks" while you describe what is occurring at each phase.

    Please upload any student resources, videos, etc. (Max. size: 512 MB videos, 10 MB all other files)

    Goal

    Instruction

    Plan your moon phase journey! As your ozobot travels it should do so autonomously, without picking up the ozobot. Make sure you embed 2 tricks between each moon phase. Also, make note of major activities at each phase of the lunar cycle, including any information about tides and how the moon appears from Earth.

    Goal

    Instruction

    After finishing your draft, show to your teacher for approval. At this point you will be given ONE large piece of paper to create your final product. You will get only ONE paper, so work carefully. Any mistakes shall be edited using a blank address label sticker, or a piece of white paper glued over the area you wish to change. You will NOT get a new sheet of paper.

    Please upload any student resources, videos, etc. (Max. size: 512 MB videos, 10 MB all other files)

    Goal

    Instruction

    Students should be working on their ozobot's journey and testing it as they add each phase and code. Students should also be practicing timing, and working on their "script" that they will read as they film the ozobot's journey through the moon phases.
