IntroductionLEGO Education is pleased to introduce the 2009580 LEGO Education WeDo Activity Packwhich includes this LEGO Education WeDo Teacher’s Guide.Who is it for?The material is designed for teachers in elementary school, especially second through fourthgrade, although it can be used in higher grades as well. Working individually, in pairs orteams, students of any academic background from seven years and up can learn by buildingand programming the models and by investigating, writing about, and discussing ideas theyencounter using the models in these activities.What is it for?The WeDo Activity Pack enables students to work as young scientists, engineers, mathematiciansand creative writers providing them with the settings, tools and tasks for completing crosscurricular projects.Using these materials, students are encouraged to build and program a working model and thenuse the model for different purposes, depending upon the theme of the activity and its focusedsubject matter in science, technology, mathematics or language.The WeDo Activity Pack enables teachers to provide learning opportunities for developing thesebroader learning goals: Think creatively to make a working model Develop vocabulary and communication skills to explain how the model works Establish links between cause and effect Reflect on how to find answers and imagine new possibilities Brainstorm ideas and endeavor to bring some of them to fruition Make fair tests by changing one factor and observing or measuring the effect Make systematic observations and measurements Display and communicate data using tables Follow 2D drawings to build a 3D model Think logically and create a program to produce a specific behavior Write and present creative stories using models for visual and dramatic effectsSee the Curriculum section for an overview of the highlights, a description of the themes aroundwhich the activities are organized, and curriculum grids showing how objectives in science,technology, engineering, mathematics and language are met by each activity.LEGO, the LEGO logo and WEDO are trademarks of the/sont des marques de commerce de/son marcas registradas de LEGO Group. 2009 The LEGO Group.3
IntroductionWhat is in the box?9580 LEGO Education WeDo Construction SetThe 9580 LEGO Education WeDo Construction Set enables students to build LEGO modelsthat attach to the LEGO USB Hub and then control the models using computer programs. Theset contains 158 elements including a LEGO Hub, motor, tilt sensor and a motion sensor that addmovement and intelligence to the model.LEGO USB HubThe LEGO USB Hub controls sensors and motors from the 2000095 LEGO Education WeDo Software. Power and data are transmitted from the LEGO motors and sensors to and from thecomputer using the two LEGO Hub ports. The WeDo Software automatically detects the LEGOHub and any motors and sensors attached to it. Up to three LEGO Hubs can be attached.MotorThe motor can be programmed to turn this way or that way and to move at different power levels.Power for the motor is supplied through voltage from the computer’s USB port (5V). Axles or otherLEGO elements can be attached to the motor.Tilt SensorThe tilt sensor reports the direction it is tilted. The tilt sensor detects changes within six differentpositions: Tilt This Way, Tilt That Way, Tilt Up, Tilt Down, No Tilt and Any Tilt.Motion SensorThe motion sensor detects objects within a range of 15 centimeters (or about 6 inches)depending on the design of the object.LEGO, the LEGO logo and WEDO are trademarks of the/sont des marques de commerce de/son marcas registradas de LEGO Group. 2009 The LEGO Group.4
Introduction2000095 LEGO Education WeDo SoftwareThe LEGO Education WeDo Software is used to create programs by dragging and droppingBlocks into a sequence on the computer screen or Canvas. Several Blocks control the motor,tilt sensor and motion sensor from the LEGO Education WeDo Construction Set. There arealso Blocks that control the computer keyboard, display, microphone and speaker. The WeDoSoftware automatically detects motors and sensors when they are attached to the LEGOHub. Getting Started examples in the WeDo Software show LEGO building and programmingprinciples.2009580 LEGO Education WeDo Activity PackThe LEGO Education WeDo Activity Pack contains 12 activities that can be installed to runwith the WeDo Software. Animations and step-by-step Building Instructions are embeddedin the activities. In this Teacher’s Guide, Teacher Notes for the activities as well as classroommanagement ideas, curriculum support, WeDo Software overviews, and Getting Startedprogramming and building examples are also included.LEGO, the LEGO logo and WEDO are trademarks of the/sont des marques de commerce de/son marcas registradas de LEGO Group. 2009 The LEGO Group.5
IntroductionThe 4C Learning ProcessAll LEGO Education materials support a process of learning that includes four phases: Connect,Construct, Contemplate, and Continue.ConnectYou add to your brain’s knowledge when you connect a new learning experience to thoseyou already have or when an initial learning experience is the seed stimulating the growth ofnew knowledge. Each LEGO Education WeDo activity presents an animated situation withminifigures, Mia and Max. Use these animations to illustrate, inspire, and stimulate discussionabout the activity topic. Other ways to Connect are also suggested in the Teacher Notes for eachactivity.ConstructLearning is best when hands and minds are engaged. LEGO Education involves learning bymaking: the construction of models and of ideas. The WeDo activities include step-by-stepinstructions embedded directly into the Construct phase. Just click to see the next step. If youprefer, plan time for modifying this model or building and programming something of your owndesign.ContemplateWhen you contemplate what you have done, you have the opportunity to deepen yourunderstanding. As you reflect, you develop connections between previous knowledge and newexperiences. In the Contemplate section, students observe and report how specific changesin the pulleys, gears, or cams affects the movement of the model; they research and makepresentations about the behavior of their “animals;” they count, take measurements and ratethe performance of their soccer models; and they create different types of stories and act themout using their models for visual and sound effects. This phase offers a good opportunity forevaluating the learning and progress of each student.ContinueLearning is always more enjoyable and creative when it is adequately challenging. Maintainingthis challenge and the pleasure of accomplishment naturally inspires the continuation of moreadvanced work. The Continue phase of each activity includes a challenge to build and programmore behavior or complex interaction with the /X(IO/X)LO)/XContemplateLEGO, the LEGO logo and WEDO are trademarks of the/sont des marques de commerce de/son marcas registradas de LEGO Group. 2009 The LEGO Group.6
IntroductionOrganizing the ClassroomUse this checklist to prepare for teaching with the LEGO Education WeDo Activity Pack. Install the LEGO Education WeDo Software on each computer or on your network. Install the WeDo Activity Pack on each computer or on your network. Open each LEGO Education WeDo Construction Set. Store the loose elements in the storagebox. Arrange the computer and space required for each student or group. For example, place oneend of the table near to safe power outlet for the computer. Allow some working space forthe storage box and for building models. About 60 centimeters x 40 centimeters (or about 24inches x 20 inches) next to each computer will do. If not already available in your classroom, prepare a box of measuring tools including rulers ormeasuring tapes and paper for data charts. Stopwatches are optional but useful. To become familiar with the materials yourself, set aside an hour and try the Dancing Birdsactivity as if you were the student. Then read the 1. Dancing Birds Teacher Notes. If you have more time, browse Getting Started and try one or more of these: Motor and Axle,Gears, Tilt Sensor, Motion Sensor.Here are other suggestions recommended by experienced teachers who use LEGO Educationmaterials. Place a number on each WeDo Construction Set. That way, you can sign out a numbered kitto each student or team for the term. Organize a cupboard, a wheeled cart or storeroom to store the sets between sessions.Unfinished models can be stored in the boxes or on another shelf. If stored separately, put amodel in a small box or tray. Set aside a resource table or an area that can be used for storing the books related to thecurrent theme topics: e.g., books, photographs, maps and other resources related to the WildAnimals theme. For decorating or extending projects, prepare a box of craft materials, e.g., colored paper,card stock, foil, ribbons, and scissors. Consider using journals as inventors’ notebooks either on paper or online to encourageproject organization, note-taking, and reflection throughout the project work.LEGO, the LEGO logo and WEDO are trademarks of the/sont des marques de commerce de/son marcas registradas de LEGO Group. 2009 The LEGO Group.7
IntroductionLesson Planning RoutesThere are many ways to use the LEGO Education WeDo materials in your classroom. Here aretwo different ways to plan your class schedule.Each activity can take one or more class periods, depending upon the time spent on discussion,the building and computer skills of your students, and the time you allow for experimentation.Activities can be completed by an individual or a small team or group, depending upon thenumber of computers and LEGO Education WeDo Construction Sets available.Route A: Getting Started Introduction Before Themed ActivitiesIntroduce the building and programming ideas first to help the students become familiar withLEGO building using the WeDo Construction Set and with the LEGO Education WeDo Software.Then start on the themed activities.You can have the students choose one of the three themed activities for each theme as this chartshows, or if you have more time, you can have the students try all of the activities. Some groupswill be faster than others and may be able to complete all three in the same time as otherscomplete one or two.Extension ideas are suggested in the Teacher Notes for each activity. Some of the activityextensions involve combining models from other projects so extensions are recommended asuseful ways to encourage cooperation.You may wish to organize a class exhibition as a finale for the unit.Route B: Focus on Themed ActivitiesStart with the themed activities, spending more time with them as projects to encourageexperimentation.You can have the students try all of the activities as this chart shows, or if you have less time, youcan have the students choose one activity from each theme. Some groups will be faster thanothers and may be able to complete all three in the same time as others complete one or two.Use the Getting Started materials as a reference. Extension ideas are suggested in the TeacherNotes for each activity.You may wish to organize a class exhibition as a finale for the unit.LEGO, the LEGO logo and WEDO are trademarks of the/sont des marques de commerce de/son marcas registradas de LEGO Group. 2009 The LEGO Group.8
