Where can I see the lesson plans?
-
All of our lessons are located at Basecamp. You can choose which robot you're looking for lessons about, and then you can click on "Teacher Resources" to access all of the lesson plans for that robot. For example, here is the CoDrone EDU page on Basecamp.
You can also click into a particular lesson, and use the "Lesson Plans" button to view the lesson plan associated with that particular lesson. Think of the lesson on Basecamp as the student-facing content, and thelesson planas the accompanying lesson plan to help the instructor or teacher plan for the class. Here's the "Lesson Plans" button for the CoDrone EDU lesson about Hover and Trim.
You'll find a lesson plan with objectives, guiding questions, goals, materials needed, and a 5E Format lesson plan. Towards the end, you'll find standards alignment for Common Core and NGSS.
