Teacher note's help STEM Teachers conduct the classes. They are available at specific places in the Courses. The goal of the teacher note's is to help STEM Teachers prepared for the specific classes in the specific course. They also give guidence and directions on the methodology of conducting classes. Sometimes the Teacher Note will have the solution to the problem presented to the students and specific directions on what should the teacher do if students can not complete a task. Teacher note's are only visible to teachers.
There are some fundamental rules that we advise you to follow while organizing this course with students. Let's look at them.
How should an instructor use this course when working with students and a group of students in school
Note for the teacher on how to organize the class to use different robot base constructions to accomplish the mission for lifting.
When organizing this course, the behavior expectations should be set at the very beginning of the course.
What a teacher must look out for, while students are building a robot from instructions.
Do your best as a teacher to make sure students are expanding their vocabulary on every occasion.
What a teacher should know when giving tasks to students
This is a teacher's note about the math behind calculating gear ratios with for our lifting attachment. It math model we build in previous tutorials is not exactly correct and here is the explanation why.
A note why we give the challenge at the start of the lesson.
There are some things to be careful about when your students work with the brick.
What is allowed and what is not when building without instructions.
Sometimes a good teacher needs a few tricks in his sleeve, so that he can surprise and entertain his students.
What should you as a teacher know when the students are trying to achieve a program and robot attachment that could reproduce their behaviour 9 out of 10 times.
We will share the idea behind that challenge and how to conduct the challenge in a classroom.
What should you do as a teacher when the students are calculating the gear ratios and number of needed rotations?
A special fourth case for a turning with robots with two wheels.
In the EV3-G software, you could use negative numbers for power and rotations. In this episode, we would look at what is the meaning of this numbers and make a few notes of where the teacher must be more careful.
Note for the teacher on making the construction more stable, more durable and using beams for this.
How important is it to have predictable behavior in your classes.
Why we change the robots all the time and what to observe in each new robot.
How to keep the discipline in the classroom and how to cheer up the students.
How to help students implement long programs.
In this robotics tutorial, we give a few notes for the teacher about adding an axle to the front of the FTC robot and attaching a plastic plate to this axle to make the robot collect balls.
With the last few videos, we entered the math world. Why we do it and what to keep in mind
Let's cover the break at end option and learn why there is no lesson about it to students.
