Think critically about what it means to be “human” by investigating what makes us similar to or different from other animals. Roleplay as a cryptozoological creature (a Yeti) to research and ask questions about human physical, social, and behavioural characteristics. Use graphic organizers and a labelled diagram to “teach” an audience of other cryptozoological creatures (Yeti students) about the humans that live in their environment.

Research what life was like for a philosopher who accomplished something that was unexpected in the time and place in which he or she lived. Understand that not all great thinkers lived in a time or place in which their ideas or actions were considered acceptable or important. Learn about how philosophers overcame these obstacles in order to accomplish great things. Make connections between the accomplishments of this philosopher and personal goals for intellectual achievement.

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.
