R is for ROBOT: Ozobots for 4th Graders

 

Ozobot bits...the robot that follows code and reads colors! This is an awesome library station because it can be in the robot station OR the art station. 

Learners can code Ozobots a few different ways: 

• Using Ozoblockly on the chromebook, learners drag and drop block coding to get the Ozobot moving.
• Coloring with markers, learners color the correct code on Ozobot worksheets or just plain white paper. 
• Clipping together Ozobot puzzle pieces that can be purchased (I bought one set on Amazon and another through eBay), learners create a color-coded path for the Ozobot to follow.
• Just getting started with Ozobot? I use this introduction video with my students:
   
  Introduction to Ozobot - Part 1.

Depending on the week, we use the puzzle pieces OR we code with our makers. I love using the Ozobot worksheets, and in 4th grade when we are learning about the planets, earth, moon and gravitational pull, we complete the eclipses worksheet from the Ozobot worksheet. It directly relates to the fourth grade SOLS for this quarter, so now is the perfect time to use the Ozobots and have them follow a path around Earth. 

Here are the materials for the 4th grade Ozobot Station: (one per participating student)

• plastic bag with a black, blue, green, red marker 
• Ozobot worksheet: Eclipses-celestial-mechanics 
• Ozobot code cheat sheet:  Ozobot Code cheat sheets
• Ozobot robots (students can share or each have their own Ozobot...collaboration can be very successful with this station). 

Check out the 4th Grade Ozobot science and library Lesson  HERE. It outlines the lesson, the standards, and learning goals (freebie on TPT).
