Session   Title:    How   to   Construct   a   Robot   Part   3:   Wheel  

 

 

Performance   Objective:   

After   completing   this   lesson,   students   will   be   able   to   lay   out,   dimension,   and   construct   a   basic   wheel   and   all   of   its   mounting   parts   (hub   to   motor,   mount   to   box,   wheel   housing),   matching   the   criteria   in   the   How   to  

Construct   a   Robot   Part   by   Part   Rubric.

 

   

 

 

Specific   Objectives:

ASK:   Does   anyone   know   what   three   things   you   should   keep   in   mind   while   constructing   a   wheel?

   (Allow   time   for   answers.)  

SAY:   Yes,   weight,   grip,   and   speed.

   

SAY :   We   are   now   going   through   a   slide   presentation   called   How   to   Construct   a   Robot   Part   3:   Wheel.

  We   will   stop   twice   so   that   you   will   be   able   to   create   your   wheel   and   parts .

  

SHOW:    Point   out   a   few   examples   from   the   presentation.

 

SAY:   Next   we   will   look   at   the   wheel   Plan   Sheet.

 

SHOW :   The   wheel   Plan   Sheet   and   then   stop   and   let   the   students   develop   their   own   wheel.

  After   they   have   completed   one   device,   continue   with   the   rest   of   the   presentation,   allowing   students   to   follow   the

Throughout   the   How   to   Construct   a   Robot   Part   3:   Wheel   slide   presentation,   students   will   be   taught   how   to   make   a   wheel   and   all   its   attachments,   and   how   to   think   critically   how   to   design   and   draw   a   wheel   and  

  its   attachments.

  

 

Independent   Practice   (LSI   Quadrant   III):  

 

Students   will   be   required   to   be   creative,   think   critically,   and   make   their   own   wheel   and   its   attachments.

  

Summary  

 

Review   (LSI   Quadrants   I   and   IV):  

 

Question:   Which   wheel   was   the   best   for   speed?

   

Answer:   (It   depends   on   the   wheel   created.)   The   best   answer   will   most   likely   be   a   kind   of   wheel   that   was  

  thin   and   tall   (10”).

 

Question:   Which   wheel   could   best   move   a   lot   of   weight?

 

Answer:   (It   depends   on   the   wheel   created.)   The   best   answer   will   most   likely   be   a   kind   of   wheel   that   was  

  thicker   and   had   a   lot   of   surface   traction.

 

Question:   Which   wheel   worked   best   for   combination   and   multiple   tasks?

 

 

Answer:    The   wheel   that   had   the   best   combination   of   weight,   grip,   and   speed.

    

Evaluation  

 

 

Informal   Assessment   (LSI   Quadrant   III):   

The   teacher   will   observe   the   students   as   they   work   on   creating   and   testing   their   wheels.

  

 

 

Formal   Assessment   (LSI   Quadrant   III,   IV):  

Construction   of   a   Robot   Part   by   Part   Rubric.

   The   students   will   create   a   wheel   for   different   tasks   and   should   be   evaluated   by   efficiency   of   the   wheel   and   design.

Extension  

 

 

 

Extension/Enrichment   (LSI   Quadrant   IV):  

 

For   more   enrichment,   students   should   construct   a   wheel   that   can   be   operated   electronically.

How to Construct a Robot Part by Part Rubric

Task Statement: Students will demonstrate they can construct a robot part by part.

Task Assignment: Students will lay out and dimension each part; consider the weight, speed and tolerance; determine what tools to use and how to use them; incorporate safety tips as a priority; and use appropriate materials for cost effectiveness.
