This lesson plan explores Artificial Intelligence using Teachable Machine, a program that uses images and sounds to create machine models.
This is a quick lesson/ discussion about the changes in computing over time. You will discuss how we use technology today vs. how computers were used years ago. The class will then watch a fun video about children reacting to an old computer. As a class, you will continue the comparison conversation and close with a recap of what the students saw.
The discussion and video will take approximately 20 minutes.
To add to the discussion, you can create an anchor chart of past and present pros and cons. Student's can then write a journal entry on what was discussed in class.
*** This lesson can be adapted to suit multiple grade levels.
Students will be immersed in a part of each of the 5 ancient civilizations and learn about either architecture or daily life using a VR headset and Youtube App.
Compare architecture of three different civilizations by visiting the Great Wall in China, pyramids in Egypt, and the Parthenon in Greece and discuss how these visits are so different from our ability to compare them 3 decades ago when technology wasn’t as advanced.
Students will be learning about what a pixel is and how they have changed over the years. We will then tie this into how the ancient Greeks created the Olympics and how the Olympics have changed.
Technology has changed drastically - from smartphones to virtual reality. In this lesson, you will review the main types of Simple Machines. Through class discussions, your students will compare how both technology and simple machines have changed and are used differently than they were in the past. Your students will then explore and build examples of modern-day machinery.
A lesson plan complete with a video and STEM activity to help students identify the usefullness of Artificial Intelligence with the use of everyday tools.
This is a visual that can be used in the classroom as a poster to show the impacts of technology in the world.
Students will read the article about the computer helped land the Apollo 11 compare to a modern day cell phone to see the information about how technology has go greatly changed.
