    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

    Explain to the students: You have been researching the systems required to provide food to a community. Working in pairs you will need to create a map that shows the different steps it takes for a food of your choice to go from the 'farm' to the table. You will then need to create a path that links the different steps in the food production system and then program an Ozobot to follow the path.

    Separate the students into ability groups - basic, intermediate and danced. In those ability groups, ask students to pair up and choose their food system.

    Instruction

    Basic

    1. Students draw/print a picture of the location of each part of the food system.
    2. Arrange these pictures in random order on an A3 piece of paper.
    3. Students draw a continuous line to join each picture.
    4. Add codes to assist the Ozobot to visit each site in the correct order in the shortest distance to show the journey of the food.

    Instruction

    Intermediate

    1. Students draw/print a picture of the location of each part of the food system.
    2. Students draw/print a map of the area that the food supply systems occur in. This may be a map of the state, a map of a country, or even a map of the world.
    3. Place the image for each location in its appropriate place.
    4. Draw a path connecting each of the steps in the process. Imagine they are roads that will be reused and driven on in both directions. Use as few roads as possible.
    5. Add codes to the line to assist the Ozobot to visit each site in the correct order to show the journey of the food.

    Instruction

    Advanced Students in the advanced group will be creating the map and roads as one group. It will have all the sites required for the various food productions on the same map. This may mean that some facilities are used by more than one food.

    1. Students draw/print a picture of the location of each part of the food system.
    2. Students draw/print a map of the area that the food supply systems occur in. This may be a map of the state, a map of a country, or even a map of the world. It needs to be big enough to fit all the different sites of food production.
    3. Place the image for each location in its appropriate place.
    4. Draw a network of transport routes (roads, trains, shipping, air) that enable all the sites to link.
    5. Use Ozoblocky to code your Ozobot to visit each site in the correct order to show the journey of food.

    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

    Find a partner and decide on what food system you will demonstrate. Choose something you have already researched in class.

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

    Goal

    Instruction

    Your food when through a variety of processes to come from where it began growing to arrive at your home to eat. Draw or find an ethically sourced (creative commons) image that represents each site that your food goes to.

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

    Goal

    Instruction

    Students draw/print a map of the area that the food supply systems occur in. This may be a blank piece of paper, a map of the state, a map of a country, or even a map of the world. It needs to be big enough to fit all the different sites of food production.

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

    Goal

    Instruction

    On your map place the images for each food production site you made. Place them as accurately as possible to where they would be in the real world.

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

    Goal

    Instruction

    Draw a path connecting each of the steps in the process. Imagine they are roads that will be reused and driven on in both directions. Use as few roads as possible. Draw your lines in pencil first in case you make a mistake or can see an improvement, then trace over with the black marker.

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

    Goal

    Instruction

    Add codes to the roads or use Ozoblocky to code your Ozobot to follow the transport routes in the correct of for the processing of your chosen food.

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

    Goal

    Lesson Extension (Optional)

    Add student instructions for a lesson extension.

    Instruction

    Your food when through a variety of processes to come from where it began growing to arrive at your home to eat. Draw or find an ethically sourced (creative commons) image that represents each site that your food goes to. Some of your foods might visit the same places (eg. Supermarket) so make sure you don't double up.

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

    Goal

    Instruction

    Students draw/print a map of the area that the food supply systems occur in. This may be a map of the state, a map of a country, or even a map of the world. It needs to be big enough to fit all the different sites of food production. Work with the other extension groups to produce one single map that will fit all the process sites for all the different foods.

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

    Goal

    Instruction

    All groups place the site images on the map, trying to be as accurate as possible with the locations. Lay all the images on the map before you start glueing them on to make sure you have enough room and they are correctly arranged.

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

    Goal

    Instruction

    Draw a path connecting each of the steps in the process. Imagine they are transport routes that will be reused in both directions. You may need roads, train tracks, shipping lanes and air travel. You may want to look at a real map to give you an idea of where major roads are to help you plan. We want a well-planned transport system, not lines going everywhere. Draw your lines in pencil first in case you make a mistake or can see an improvement, then trace over with the black marker.

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

    Goal

    Instruction

    Use Ozoblocky to code your Ozobot to follow the transport routes in the correct of for the processing of your chosen food.

    5. Supplements

    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.)

    Have students demonstrate the paths their Ozobots take. Make connections between what the Ozobot is representing in the real-world. Discuss possible problems that they can see in the real-world and brainstorm possible solutions. Students should be able to demonstrate coding skills, ability to sequence information and draw conclusions to real-world situations.

    B. Academic Standards (At least one standard required)
    Choose a category from the dropdown on the left. In the blank on the right, begin typing the number of the standard.
