3 1. Introduction to the Maker Lessons The LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 Maker Lessons have been developed to engage and motivate middle school students, piquing their interest in learning design, engineering, and coding using motorized models and simple programming. Each lesson provides an initial brief as a starting point. The open ended prompts allow for unlimited answers and enable students to express a wide range of creative solutions as they sketch, build, and test prototypes of the designs they create. The teacher s role in these lessons is to provide students with the tools and necessary freedom to connect with and define a problem, make a solution, and share what they have made. Use your creativity to adapt these activities to suit the needs of your students. The role of the teacher is to create the conditions for invention rather than provide ready-made knowledge.

4 Classroom Management Tips Required Materials LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 Core Set Lesson plan Student Worksheet for each activity Inspirational images for each activity Modeling materials already available in your classroom How much time do you need? Each lesson is designed to take 90 minutes. If you work in shorter class periods, you can break this down into two 45 minute sessions. Preparation It is important to establish student groups. Groups of two work well. Ensure that each student has a copy of the Student Worksheet for recording their design process, or alternatively, they can use their own preferred method for recording their design journey. They will also need the LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 Core Set (one set for every two students is recommended). Prior Learning Before beginning these Maker activities, it is recommended that students complete the lessons from the Introduction to Robotics Lesson Plan. These lessons can be found in both EV3 Lab and EV3 Programming. These tutorial lessons last between minutes each, and you will need to factor this into your lesson planning. However, if you prefer a more open-ended, explorative method, you can start out with this activity and allow students to find help on their own by referring to the Robot Educator Tutorials. The LEGO Education Maker (Design) Process Defining the Problem It is important that students define a real problem to solve, or find a new design opportunity from the start. The Connect images are provided to help students think about designing their solutions. At this stage of the process, it is important that you not show examples of a final or sample solution. Brainstorm Brainstorming is an active part of making. Some students will find it easier to explore their thoughts through tinkering (hands-on experimentation) with the LEGO bricks, and others will prefer to record sketches and notes. Group work is essential, but it is important to allow time for students to work alone before sharing their ideas with their groups. Define the Design Criteria Discussing and reaching an agreement about the best solution to build can involve a lot of negotiation and may require different techniques that are dependent on the students skills. For example: Some students draw well. Others may build part of a model, and then describe what they mean. Other students may be good at describing a strategy. 4
5 Classroom Management Tips Encourage an ethos where students can share anything, no matter how abstract it might sound. Be active during this phase and ensure that the ideas the students choose are achievable. It is important that students set clear design criteria. Once the solution to the problem has been made, the students will return to these criteria, which will then form the basis for testing how well their solution works. Design criteria example: The design must.. The design should The design could Go Make Students must make one of their ideas using the LEGO set, and can use other materials if needed. If they are finding it hard to build their idea, encourage them to break problems down into smaller parts. Explain that they do not have to come up with the whole solution from the start. Remind students that this process is iterative and they must test, analyze, and revise their idea as they go. Using this Maker process does not mean you are following an inflexible set of steps. Instead, think of it as a set of practices. For example, brainstorming may be prominent at the beginning of the process. However, students may also need to brainstorm ideas when they are trying to figure out ways to improve their idea, or when they have a bad test result and must change a feature of their design. Review and Revise Your Solution To help students develop their critical thinking and communication skills, you may wish to have students from one group observe and critique another group s solution. Peer review and formative feedback helps both the students giving, and the students receiving the feedback to improve their work. Communicate Your Solution The Student Worksheet is helpful for basic documentation of the activity. Students can also refer to it when presenting their work in front of the class. You may also wish to use the Student Worksheet as a portfolio for performance evaluations or for student self-evaluation. 5

7 Classroom Management Tips Assessment Where can I find the assessment materials? Assessment materials are provided on the following page for the first three projects. What learning goals are assessed? Students use the Student Worksheet assessment rubric to evaluate their design work according to the learning goals. Each rubric includes four levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. The intention of the rubric is to help students reflect on what they have done well in relation to the learning goals and what they could have done better. Each rubric can be linked to engineering-related learning goals from the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). NGSS Science Standards: Science and Engineering Practices MS-ETS1.1, MS-ETS1-2, MS-ETS1-3, MS-ETS1-4 Disciplinary Core Ideas ETS1.A, (MS-ETS1-1) ETS1.B, (MS-ETS1-2), (MS-ETS1-3), (MS-ETS1-4) ETS1.C, (MS-ETS1-3), (MS-ETS1-4) Common Core State Standards ELA/Literacy WHST SL8.5 Mathematics MP.2, 7.EE.3 Share It We encourage you to share your students brilliant projects on the appropriate social media platforms using the hashtag #LEGOMaker. #LEGOMAKER Students can also share their own projects if they are over 13 years old and if it complies with the rules of your school/maker space. The Maker Activities Start your Maker journey with the following three activities: Sound Machine Security Gadget Puppet 7

We successfully used two design criteria and ideas to build a solution to a defined problem. We met Silver and refined our idea, improving it further through testing, revising, and retesting. We met Gold and successfully met all three design criteria. Maker task: Security Gadget Linked to: NGSS Practice 1 Defining Problems We understood the design problem. We defined a design problem and used one design criteria and idea to build our solution. We achieved Silver and used two design criteria and ideas to build our solution. We achieved Gold and used three design criteria and ideas to build an effective solution. Maker task: Puppet Linked to: NGSS Practice 1 Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information We drew and labeled the different parts of our design. We met Bronze and identified the location of the key component parts responsible for making our design work. We met Silver and included a diagram showing how our design works. We met Gold and used words and a diagram to explain how our new design works. Notes: Well done! What will you make next? 8
9 Maker Connect Music is made up of a combination of sounds, notes and rhythm. A rhythm is a regular movement or repeated pattern of movements that can be used in many different ways. In mechanical machines, a rhythm can help keep a machine running smoothly. It can also be used to generate different sounds in music. Look at the photos below and answer the questions. What do you see? Can you see any new design opportunities? What problems can you see? How could you make use of the LEGO bricks, Programmable Brick, motors, and sensors? Lesson Plan: Sound Machine Use this lesson plan to help structure the flow of each lesson. Learning Goals After completing this lesson, students will have: Used and understood the design process Defined a clear design need Developed their ability to iterate and improve design solutions Developed their problem-solving and communication skills Duration 2 x 45 mins (90 mins) Preparation Ensure that each student has a copy of the Student Worksheet for recording their design process. They will also need the LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 Core Set (one set for every two students is recommended). Other Materials Required (Optional) Use craft materials that you already have in your classroom to add another dimension to this activity. Some materials could be: Rubber bands Pipe cleaners Thin cardboard Construction paper Thin wire Thin plastic sheets Recycled materials Foam Procedure Sound Machine 1. Introduction/Discussion Hand out the Student Worksheets and allow the students to interpret the activity themselves, or read the Maker Connect text aloud to set the scene. 2. Defining the Problem As students look at the connect images and questions, facilitate a discussion to steer them toward a problem or new design opportunity. Once they have decided upon a problem to solve, ensure that they record this in some way. They can use the worksheet to help structure their project documentation, or use their own preferred method to record their design journey. Students must define a problem before they can start brainstorming ideas. 3. Brainstorm Students should initially work independently, spending three minutes to generate as many ideas as they can to solve the problem. They can use the bricks from the LEGO set during the brainstorming process, or sketch out their ideas in the space provided on the worksheet. 9
10 Sound Machine It is important for students to spend time tinkering with the LEGO bricks in order to generate ideas. The goal of tinkering is to explore as many solutions as possible. You can use the tinkering examples at the end of these materials for inspiration, or as a means for getting started. Students can now take turns sharing their ideas within their groups. Once all of the ideas have been shared, each group should select the best idea(s) to make. Be prepared to help facilitate this process, ensuring that the students choose an idea that is possible to make. Encourage diversity, not all groups have to make the same thing. Take turns to share your ideas. 4. Define the Design Criteria Students should record up to three design criteria on their worksheets. They will refer to this again as they review and revise their solutions. 5. Go Make Now the students will make one of their group s ideas using the LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 Core Set, and other materials as needed. Design criteria example: The design must.. The design could The design should Reinforce that students do not have to come up with the whole solution from the start. During the making process, remind students to test and analyze their idea as they go, making improvements where necessary. If you want students to submit their documentation at the end of the lesson, ensure that they use sketches and photos of their models to record their design journey during the making stage of the lesson. 6. Review and Revise Your Solution Students will test and evaluate their designs against the design criteria they recorded before they started making their solutions. They can record notes on their Student Worksheets. How well does it work? What if? 7. Communicate Your Solution Allow time for each student or student group to present what they have made to the class. A good way to do this is to set out a table large enough to display all of the models. If time is short, pair off the groups and have them present to each other. 8. Assessment Students will use the Student Worksheet assessment rubric to evaluate their design work according to the learning goals. Each rubric includes four levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. The intention of the rubric is to help students reflect on what they have done well in relation to the learning goals and what they could have done better. Each rubric can be linked to engineering-related learning goals from the NGSS. 9. Tidy Up Ensure that you leave approximately minutes at the end of the lesson to break down the models and sort them back into the LEGO boxes. 10
