Robots All Around!
We have visited many different design spaces in the school. We noticed the interest the children showed in the different machines and robots in these spaces. We decided to read a book about robots.
What do we already know about robots?
What can robots do?
We began by drawing and writing what we already know about robots. Then, the children shared their ideas with a buddy. The children explained how robots:
- help us stay safe
- clean the house
- help us have fun
We noticed that the children were exploring the concepts form, function, systems and jobs.
Next, we read the book ‘Robots All Around!’ together.
We discussed the main idea, made predictions as we read and shared text-to-world connections. We looked carefully at the pictures and discussed new vocabulary.
Then, the children drew what they have learned about robots.
- We wonder what robots the children have at home.
- We wonder what these robots help us do.
- We wonder what more we can learn about robots.
