This lesson plan introduces 6th grade students to the topic of robotics. It includes 6 activities: 1) defining dilemmas and robots, 2) discussing whether they'd rather have or be a robot, 3) identifying robots in everyday life, 4) designing rescue robots after reading a story, 5) drawing their robot designs, and 6) reflecting on whether they could make their robot design a reality. Students work in small groups using thinking strategies like Think-Pair-Share. They share ideas on online platforms and present their work to the class. The lesson aims to develop students' understanding of robots and their uses while also building presentation and teamwork skills.
