Lesson Activities by Day

Date	Phase 1: Starter (7 mins) Preparing the brain	Phase 2: Main (16 mins) New learning + assessment	Resources	Phase 3: Plenary (5 mins) Reflection + exercise
Mon 06 Jul 2026	1Learners will recall the basic parts of a robot and what they already know about how machines work 2Show learners a picture of a simple robot (using the projector) and ask: What parts can you see? Learners call out answers and you list them on the board (wheels, arms, lights, box)	UNDERSTANDING THE ROBOT'S BRAIN: THE CONTROLLER 1Display a diagram of a robot controller on the projector using the computer/laptop and explain: The controller is the brain of the robot—it receives messages and tells the robot what to do. Ask learners to write in their exercise books: What does the controller do? Call on one volunteer from the class to read their answer aloud and confirm it matches: it controls all parts of the robot 2Use the textbook to show a labelled diagram of where the controller sits inside a robot. Point to each mechanical part (motor, wheels, gripper) and ask learners to pair with a partner and whisper: How do you think the controller talks to the motor? After, invite one pair to share their thinking with the class and affirm that the controller sends electrical signals to make parts move 3Struggling learners: provide a word bank with controller, motor, signal, move. Ask them to match these words to simple pictures of robot parts using the textbook.	1Computer/Laptop 2Projector 3Textbook 4Internet connection	1Ask learners to stand if they can explain what a controller does; sit if they need more help. Invite a standing learner to give a one-sentence explanation: The controller is the brain that tells the robot's parts what to do 2Display three images on the projector: a controller, a motor, and a sensor. Ask learners to point to the one that receives information from the environment and confirm that sensors are the robot's eyes and ears Exercise 1Learners write one sentence in their exercise book answering: What is the controller and why is it important to a robot? Accept any response that includes the idea that the controller directs or controls the robot's actions
