This bundle includes a card game, a word jumble, a word search, a matching activity, and a colouring page!

Using a variety of materials, create collages with images of robots and non-robots. Compare and discuss images to create a definition of what makes a robot different from another device.

Learn about the many different types of work robots can do, by finding examples in one’s classroom, home, and community. Begin to form a general definition of robots. Consider how robots of the future may be used in one’s community.

Identify important components of a robot by comparing them to human anatomy. Create a labelled diagram of a robot with explanations of its parts and their functions.

Distinguish between robots' abilities, and their uses. Think critically about the value of work done by robots, as well as the positive and negative impact this work has on daily life. Compile a list of guidelines for the creators of robots.

Explore the components that make up a robot, as well as the process by which they are built and programmed. Using visual aids and narrative passages, tell the “life story” of a robot.

Investigate different ways that humans have used and manipulated resources from the natural world to meet their community’s needs. Develop a definition of what it means for something to be “natural” or “made by humans.” Create a mobile that illustrates some of the ways that humans affect and use a particular natural resource (plant or animal) within a specific habitat and/or community.

Make connections between hypothetical scenarios and real-life experiences by role playing as a fictional character, meeting new and unfamiliar people from a different world. Create an imagined avatar that is like oneself, but also adapted to a different environment and society. Think critically about the challenges that might be faced by people from two different worlds meeting for the first time. Draw from real world technology and ideas to design tools or devices that would support harmonious interaction between these characters. Think about how these imagined tools, if invented, could help future generations.

Create an illustrated scroll to tell the story of a brave act of heroism. Develop personally meaningful criteria to define bravery by evaluating traits and actions of individuals in everyday scenarios. Identify an individual perceived to demonstrate bravery in some way. Explore the risks taken and choices made by the individual that support the opinion that they should be showcased for their bravery.

Make personal connections to beauty and the concept of style in our everyday lives. Investigate different kinds of wearable art and think critically about design in terms of personal expression, function, and what our choices communicate to others. Design and create a piece of wearable art that represents a personal understanding of style. Describe what makes their piece beautiful or functional, or what it communicates to others.

Evaluate the scientific truth of a claim made by a company promoting their product. Formulate a question and hypothesis that can be tested and think critically about the results of the testing to determine the “truth” behind the claim. Consider the application of findings and impact of that application on the natural world.
