Lesson 2: Disabilities and Age Infirmities
Task: Establish and discuss group roles and how to collaborate successfully. Research examples of disabilities and their symptoms to develop a clearer understanding on how building your robot could help.
Instructions:
1. Establish group roles
2. Use a range of websites to locate information and use presentation to present your results
3. Complete the Stems Research Task.
4. Select a specific disability that you could help and suggest specific ways a robot could help
Syllabus outcomes: SC4-WS5.1 Students identify data to be collected in an investigation by:
a. identifying the purpose of an investigation
b. proposing the type of information and data that needs to be collected in a range of investigation types, including first-hand and secondary sources
c. locating possible sources of data and information, including secondary sources, relevant to the investigation
SC4-WS7.1 Students process data and information by:
a. summarising data from students’ own investigations and secondary sources (ACSIS130, ACSIS145)
d. accessing information from a range of sources, including using digital technologies
SC4-WS9 Students communicate by:
a. presenting ideas, findings and solutions to problems using scientific language and representations using digital technologies as appropriate (ACSIS133, ACSIS148)
b. using appropriate text types in presentations, including a discussion, explanation, exposition, procedure and recount
c. using a recognised method to acknowledge sources of data and information.
Success checklist:
1. Established group roles. Each member understands their roles for the semester's project
2. Use the Internet to complete the STEMS research task using presentation to present your results
3. Selected a specific disability that you could help and suggest specific ways at least 4 ways a robot could help such as lift, carry, push
4. Submitted to your teacher.
