DISCOVERING OF THE PARTNERS THROUGH DETECTIVE GAME
Machines intended for the exploration of planetary surfaces
The objectives:
The main objective of this activity was to let our students know about different robots working in the exploration of planetary surfaces. We worked with different robots and our students could study and see how important they are.
The work:
First of all, we showed them on the digital screen different robots that work on the planetary surfaces. After that, we focus on few of them such as Puffer, Opportunity, Curiosity... Then, they searched on the internet information about these robots. They started to create a poster with some information about each robot. Then, they explained to the rest of classmates.
Firstly, they watched the information about robots. Secondly, they searched information with tablets. Robotics yesterday, today ... and tomorrow ??? Robotics, a social influencer for a better life and a better world ? Title of the activity : Machines intended for the exploration of planetary surfaces Co financed by the EU Attachments : Finally, they created a poster about each robot and explained their functions, work done on the planetary surface and so on.
Result:
They could learn about the work these robots do on the planetary surface and its importance.
ROBOTS HELP FIRETFIGHTERS.
Objectives:
The main objective was to raise awareness of the help robots provide in our daily lives, especially for firefighters. We talked about the functions of firefighters and how they need machines for a more efficient work, in this case, robots.
The work:
First, during the class session, we brainstormed what activities the students were aware of that firefighters do. Starting from that main idea, we projected a very simple presentation about these functions of firefighters and also their equipment. Then, we watched several videos of some robots used by Robotics yesterday, today... and tomorrow??? Robotics, a social influencer for a better life and a better world ? Title of the activity : ROBOTS HELP FIRETFIGHTERS. Co financed by the EU Attachments : Add pages if you insert photos. Provide a link if you made a video. firefighters either to put out fires or to save people in sinkholes and natural disasters. Finally, we propose a creative and imaginative activity to the students.
The students listened to the explanations and asked the questions they had. Finally, the pupils had the task of drawing their own firefighter robot after being shown several examples and they had to present their robots to their classmates by answering the questions on the worksheet.
Result:
The activity has been very positive for the students. They have learned a lot about robots and their usefulness for firefighters today. They have also shown a lot of interest and have actively participated in all the activities proposed throughout the session.
Interaction between activity and environment and climate. Positive aspects
In this task we took into account the relationship between robotics and the environment, in the sense that it is important to extinguish a fire as soon as possible so that it does not spread and devastate thousands of hectares. This is possible thanks to robots.
WHAT IS A ROBOT ?
objectives:
The main objectives were to differentiate: - what's robot? - how can we differentiate it from a person? -what are the three laws that must be fulfilled to know when we are dealing with a robot? - what are the main parts of the body of a robot taking as reference some images projected as children's models of robots.
The work:
-First we presented the topic of the lesson, robots. - Then we started a dialogue to talk about their previous ideas on the topic. - We worked with a digital presentation to emphasize the proposed objectives. -We continue offering some models of robots. -Finally, we offered to the kids some pieces to start to create their personal robots. - We finished talking about their achieved goals.
-First we talked about robots. We start with a dialogue established with the contributions of each of the students and previous ideas of them. -Then we worked with a digital presentation in which the outlined objectives were emphasized. -We continue offering some models of robots to differentiate their main body parts. -Finally, in teams, each group of four created a different robot from individual pieces of the body parts. Once they were finished, they shared them and compared them with the models offered, seeing if they had progressed according to the previous ideas they had.
The result:
It was very positive. At the end of the activity kids got two simple models of different robots created by themselves, starting from zero and paying attention to the main body parts of a robot analyzed. They showed great motivation.
In this lesson we focused on the explanation of the topic of our project. We delve into the relation between robotics and their help in our daily life, and the importance of some robots in terms of the environment.

importance of taking care of the environment.
ROBOTS IN SCIENCE FICTION
Objective: it was approaching our students to the topic of the title in a relaxed and funny way.
The work: the first day (12-12-22), I asked the students about the topic.
the second day: I brought them difital devices so they could investigate them
The students worked by pairs. They had to investigate about their favorite robot in science fiction and
they had to prepare as well a little discourse to share it with their classmates.
After writing a brief discourse, they read it to their classmates what they had found.
The result: the students learned about different robots and some of them developed a new interest in robotics.
CALCULATOR
Activity realized by the 15 students of the 5°D grade with the teacher Miguel Marcos Redondo
Objectives:
There were two main objectives :
1) Students learnt about the history of calculators, when and how were created and the differences from the first calculator to modern ones.
2) Students learnt about the first systems to count, compose numbers, decompose them, add, susbtract etc starting with the abacus and then the comptometer.
The work done: I asked students to bring their calculators to class. We practiced using them from basic functions to more concrete ones (parenthesis, square roots…) They soon realized that their calculators were different. Some could make square roots, but some couldn’t. And the way they got to make the calculator do it was different as well. We watched a video about the first calculator. And then I asked them to investigate about the history of calculator. I had three volunteers that investigated it at home.
Students investigated about the primitive versions of calculators. They prepared a little homework on a cardboard to expose and show their classmates what they have learnt.
Result :
Students learnt about the history of calculators both by watching and listening to their classmates and then watching some youtube tutorials.
G.P.S.
Activity done by Samuel Barrera Vega and Samuel Almeida Hernández with the 25 pupils of 5° grade
Objective:
The objective of this activity was that they know the meaning, operation and use of GPS
Work:
To develop this activity, we have combined our activity report with physical education (PE), more specifically with the orientation part.
From our area (PE) we have merged heeling (measuring the distance we cover by counting the number of steps we take) with the use of GPS.
First we have projected a presentation on GPS with basic and approach information and then we have projected an age-appropriate video on how GPS works.
Finally we have done a practical part.
Our students attended the presentation and the video about GPS and did the practical part where the students took the tablets from the center and using Google Maps, we have chosen a place near the center to which, knowing the distance established by said application and cooperatively in mixed and heterogeneous groups, we had to arrive fictitiously doing the number of steps necessary to cover said distance while traveling through the educational center facilities.
RESULT :
F
inally they understood the use of GPS and put it into practice in a real situation.
PHONES
Responsible :
Ankita Khubchandani Khubchandani
Objective:
Through this activity we worked the definition and the difference between the traditional and modern phones.
Work:
|
|
In order to work this topic I have created a Powerpoint Presentation, in which the students will observe old phones and compare it with the intelligent phone. I also drew a button keyboard in the whiteboard and with the help of the students, we tried to write a message like our parents used to do in the past.
After debating the difference about the different types of mobiles, the students had to interpret some messages in the white board and then the teacher would give them a worksheet in which they had to colour the smartphones. At the end, when the finished they could create a message in their own paper.
Final result:
It was positive as we could find them enjoying the activity. There were able to explain and say with basic difference between both mobiles and they were amazed with how people used to write in old mobiles.
In this lesson, we focused our attention on explaining the concept and the necessity of mobile phones and Smartphones. We linked the definition of the phone, the different types, and how we communicate through it.

FIRES IN TENERIFE AND INCIDENCE OF CLIMATE IN THIS SITUATION AND ROBOTS WHICH HELP FIREFIGHTERS
Responsible persons for this activity : Guillermo Lozano Fernández & Eva Hidalgo Álava
Students concerned : 6th grade
The objectives of the activity : The main goal of this activity was to find out information about the recent fires in Tenerife. In addition, we study incidence that climate has in fires and robots which help firefighters to extinguish them.
How we have worked : First of all we divided our students in different groups. Each group watched a video using tablets about fires in Tenerife, climate and its incidence in fires and robots helping firefighters. After each video, groups discussed about the topic they had just watched. Then, groups rotated and watched anoter video. Finally, they all watched the different videos. After this, we made a debate asking them questions and listening to their opinions.
The work done by the students : Students watched videos, discussed in groups about the information they watched and they participated in a general debate talking and giving their opinion about fires, robots and climate.
Final result: The result was very interesting. They were able to get the most important information and reflect about what happened in Tenerife with the fires. Students were very collaborative and participative.
Interaction between activity and environment and climate. Positive aspects We could see and understand how climate can affect and increase risk of fires on the Earth, although human action is the first cause of fires.
Negative aspects As a negative aspect nowadays human action is the first cause of fires, and although with new technology we have better options to prevent fires or help firefighters, it is in human hands to reduce these terrible disasters.

Number of work sessions, research: 3
What were the objectives of the activity?
The goal of the activity was to reflect about the importance of recycling, reusing and the utilities of a robot in our daily life.
Explain how you have worked. In the first place, we started the session talking about robots, what the students know about them, what robots can do, what robots are made of, etc. Then I asked them how they think we could make our own robot with products that we use in our daily life. They started to give some ideas and we conclude to reuse recyclable materials such us: briks, paper, plastic bottles…Kids and myself brought some materials from home to work with. Afterwards, they designed what their robot would look like on a piece of paper. They shared their pictures and ideas with the rest and agreed on how the robot would be; they started to build the robot with the materials we had already collected previously and finally to decorate it.
Explain the work done by the students The students interacted with each other in big group sharing their ideas between robots and reusing materials. They Attachments : Add pages if you insert photos. Provide a link if you made a video. individually drew the picture of a robot, agreed on how the robot should look and then joined the pieces to build it. For the process of joining the pieces they worked in pairs and taking turns with my guidance and support.
What has been the final result ? The result was great, students enjoyed the activity from the beginning, since robots was a topic quite motivating for them. Also they were excited about the process of assembling the pieces of the robot and the decoration. They have realized how important and useful recycling can be.
Interaction between activity and environment and climate. Positive aspects It has been very positive for the kids to reflect about the importance of recycling and reusing and to realize how it is possible to do it with simple steps. As a negative aspect of robotization nowadays, we could highlight that the automatization provide by robots and different technological machines can make humans life too comfortable and push humans to be less mentally and physically active.
