STEM Lesson Plan & Activities - EDISON ROBOT Year3
Rubbish in the school yard.
Lesson 1: what types of rubbish are in our yard? Where is the most rubbish accumulated? Where are the bins? How many bins? How can we improve the tidiness in our yard?
Lesson 2: physically map the yard (birdseye) with buildings, bins and rubbish. (Maths mapping focus)
Lesson 3: play with Edison Robot and Edmat. What does it do? What can be done with it.
