2. Use Tutorials to Build Conﬁdence

The tutorials provided in the software will help to build your conﬁdence and your

students’ conﬁdence. Take some time to browse through them and identify the

ones you might be interested in using.

Here is an overview of the tutorials that are available.

Basics (Driving Base)

Learn how to control the Driving Base and trigger events based on input from the

various sensors.

For EV3 Lab Only

Basics (Hardware)

Familiarize yourself with the Intelligent EV3 Brick and its assorted sensors and

motors.

Beyond Basics (Driving Base)

Grasp the fundamentals of more complex topics, such as program loops,

switches, multiple switches, arrays, and data wires.

Data Logging

Master various Data Logging concepts, such as live and Remote Data Logging,

Graph Programming, and Dataset Calculation.

Tools

Learn how to use the various tools that are available to your students, such as the

Sound Editor and the Display Image Editor.

3. Create a Learning Sequence Using

Tutorials

A good way to learn about about the functionailty of the EV3 Brick is to explore

the Robot Educator tutorials and to combine two or three of them to create a

learning sequence.

When designing your own learning sequences, remember to allow time for:

• Building the robot, if it is not already built

• Programming the robot

• Tinkering

Example of a Learning Sequence Using Tutorials

Explore the functionality of the Color Sensor by making diﬀerent things happen

based on the color detected by the sensor:

• Color Sensor Color > Multiple Switch

Examples of other Learning Sequences for EV3 Lab Only

Explore the functionality of the Color Sensor, and practice logging ambient light

values:

• Color Sensor Light > Remote Data Logging

Explore math-related concepts:

• Stop at Object > Range

• Variables > Arrays

Straight Move

Tank Move

Stop at Object

EV3 “getting started” experience.

4. Provide Frequent Feedback

Encourage your students to tell their learning story. Give the opportunity to

share their thinking, ideas, and reﬂections. This will boost their conﬁdence and

engagement.

Student Documentation

Have your students document their work. By doing that, students will reﬂect on

and consolidate what they have just learned. They will also have to consider how

to use appropriate language to communicate their thoughts and ideas.

Using the Content Editor as a Documentation Tool

The Content Editor allows students to document their progress and ﬁndings as

they work through each tutorial.

They can use the Content Editor to:

• Write full descriptions of their working processes

• Insert their own pages

• Add images and videos of their robot in action

• Share their unique project with other students

You can also allow students to select the tool(s) they ﬁnd most

appropriate for capturing and sharing their ideas. Encourage them

to document their thoughts using text, videos, images, sketchnotes,

or another creative medium.

5. Provide Frequent Feedback During

a Lesson

Move an Object

(45 minutes)

Objective

After completing this lesson, students will be able to:

• Program their robots to move and release objects of diﬀerent shapes and sizes

• Optimize the performance of a design by prioritizing criteria, making trade-oﬀs,

testing, revising, and retesting

Setup

Deﬁne a starting position and and arrange various objects for the students to

collect using their robots. Use objects of various shapes and sizes like those

shown below.

Feedback

During the lesson, interact with each student to identify any diﬃculties they

are having in completing the task. Help them to improve by providing frequent

feedback.

A. Connect

Clean up your school by collecting objects of

diﬀerent shapes and sizes. Find ways to collect as

many objects as possible.
