# Sample Lesson

## About the Lesson

The sample lesson provided here is Lesson 2 from Unit 1 of the Intro to Robotics V2 curriculum. Within this lesson, the mechanical parts of the EDU Kit V2 are introduced followed by a small building activity to aid with student exploration and growing familiarity. 

A selection of documents have been provided here, additional supporting material may be available within the full [curriculum download](https://www.revrobotics.com/curriculum/). 

## Lesson Plan

The lesson plan provides the learning outcomes, materials list, standards, activities, and a step-by-step simplified walkthrough for the lesson.

The slideshow for Lesson 2 introduces different mechanical parts for the EDU Kit V2 intended for students to view while having a kit accessible to look up close.&#x20;

The goal is to grow familiarity with the part names and terms, as well as their purposes to cut down on the risk of things feeling overwhelming as the course move towards building.

## Lesson Activity

In this activity, students are building a simple launcher in their groups. No programming required! For now the focus is to practice using tools and manipulating the parts in a fun way.

Once they finish, students can try launching crumpled paper balls or something like tennis/stress balls. We tried launching our small dino plushie ourselves.

#### Inventorying

Lesson 2 includes the recommendation to have students practice inventory their kits. While the kits include a bill of materials, a version with checkboxes has been included in the curriculum and is available here:
