Fourth graders got to explore the Ozobots! To encourage collaboration and communication, students worked in teams to of 2 to figure out the following about the Ozobots:
1. What width can the lines that Ozobot follows be?
2. What colors does Ozobot mimic?
3. What types of turns is Ozobot able to make?
4. What does Ozobot do when he gets to an intersection?
Each partner was responsible for experimenting with two of the four questions, then teams came back together and shared data and conclusions with each other. Next teams explored the various codes that can be used with the Ozobot to make him do what you want him to do. The learned that Ozobot can be coded for speed, direction, timing, and cool moves!
During our next session together, students worked again in partners to complete 6 Ozobot task cards. Each card grew in task complexity and challenged the students to think carefully and critically about what they were doing.
Finally, my fourth graders served as Ozobot experts and taught the first graders in Mrs. Newcomb's class all about the Ozobots. They worked with them to learn all about the Ozobot and complete some of the task card challenges! They did a great job!!!
