Arduino Education Starter Kit

Learn electronics and get started with programming in your classroom stepbystep No experience necessary LESSONS Getting Started 30 mins In this lesson the students get familiar with the kits material Learn about electrical safety how to setup the software and create their first program Lesson 1 Electricity Fundamentals 90 mins In this lesson the students explore some of the basic concepts of electricity and build their first simple circuit while learning about the components that make up the circuit Lesson 2 Ohms Law 90 mins The students explore one of the physical laws that determine how electricity behaves in a circuit Ohms Law They will learn by building the difference between parallel and series circuits and will investigate how electrical measurements behave using a multimeter as a tool Lesson 3 Traffic Signals 90 mins In this lesson students are introduced to the Arduino Software IDE and program their first light circuit that controls how the circuit operates Lesson 4 Dimmer Switch 90 mins The students learn about the potentiometer and how they can be used manually to control a circuit As a result they will build an LED circuit where the Arduino board will control the brightness of the LEDs based on the position of the potentiometer As the students code their circuit they will be introduced to concepts such as variables conditional statements and serial communication Lesson 5 Project Holiday Lights 90 mins The students will complete an openended project to design build and program their own holiday light circuit The project must follow the projects objectives criterias and constraints Lesson 6 Sports Robot 90 mins In this lesson the students will learn how to use a servo motor to create a simple sports robot They will program the robot to hit kick or throw a ball Lesson 7 Windshield wipers 90 mins This lesson introduces new programming concepts to the students such as nested conditionals switchcase structures and loops The students learn the new concepts by programming and building a windshield wiper circuit Lesson 8 Musical Keyboard 90 mins In this lesson students learn about piezo buzzers and how to produce different sounds tones and music With that understanding the student will build and code a musical keyboard Lesson 9 Light Wave Radar 90 mins Students will use their Arduino board and a phototransistor to measure the intensity of the light and will learn the basic principle about how information is transmitted through light waves Lesson 10 Project Greenhouse Control System 180 mins The students will complete an openended project to design build and program a climatecontrol system for a greenhouse The project must follow the projects objectives criterias and constraints ABOUT Teach middle school students the basics of programming coding and electronics No prior knowledge or experience is necessary as the kits guide you through stepbystep you are wellsupported with teacher guides and lessons can be paced according to your students abilities You can integrate the kit throughout the curriculum giving your students the opportunity to become confident in programming and electronics with guided sessions and open experimentation Youll also be teaching them vital 21stcentury skills such as collaboration and problemsolving The Arduino Education Starter Kit contains all the hardware and software you need for eight students in groups of 2 You get stepbysteplessons teacher notes exercises and for a complete and indepth class experience theres also extra optional resources including activities concepts history and interesting facts The online platform contains the teacher content nine 90minute lessons and two openended group projects that teach students coding and electronics Each lesson builds off the previous one giving students a further opportunity to apply the skills and concepts they have already learned Students also get an engineering logbook that they complete as they work through the lessons The beginning of each lesson provides an overview estimated completion times and learning objectives Throughout each lesson there are teacher notes and information that help the lesson go smoothly Extension ideas are provided at the end of each lesson WHATS IN THE KIT The kit comes with several parts and components that students will use to build circuits as they complete lessons and projects throughout the course Here is a brief description of what is included in the kit Access code to exclusive online content including teachers guidance notes stepbystep lessons and extra materials such as resources invention spotlights and PDF logbooks for students and teachers 4 Arduino UNO rev 3 4 Starter Kit mounting base Easytoassemble plastic base 4 Battery Snap 9v 8 Batteries 9v
