Smart Walls Lesson Plan for 12th Grade Example Students

Topic: smart walls

Objectives & Outcomes

• Students will be able to compare and contrast two different types of smart walls and their applications in modern construction techniques.

Materials

• Images of different types of smart walls (e.g. see sources below)
• Chart paper or whiteboard and markers

Warm-up

• Ask students if they have ever heard of smart walls before.
• Ask them to brainstorm a list of things that a smart wall might be able to do, such as play music, display digital images, etc.
• Write their answers on the chart paper or whiteboard.

Direct Instruction

• Explain that a smart wall is a wall that is integrated with sensors, computers, and electronic devices to provide a variety of functions.
• Provide a brief overview of the history and development of smart walls, including notable examples and milestones.
• Distribute the handouts with information about the two types of smart walls (namely, interactive and responsive) and go over the key differences and features of each type.
• Ask students to read over the information and try to visualize how each type of smart wall might look and work in a real-world application.

Guided Practice

• Divide the class into small groups and have each group select one type of smart wall to focus on.
• Have each group brainstorm ideas for how they would design a smart wall using their chosen type, including specific sensors, software features, and other elements.
• Have each group present their designs to the class and discuss the pros and cons of their ideas.

Independent Practice

• Have each student choose one type of smart wall to focus on for their project.
• Have each student create a plan for a smart wall using their chosen type, including specific sensors, software features, and other elements.
• Have each student build a prototype of their smart wall and test it using real-world conditions.

Closure

• Have each student present their smart wall project to the class, including the purpose and function of the wall, the sensors and software used, and any other elements of the project.
• Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each type of smart wall, and how they compare to traditional walls.
• Discuss the possibilities for future applications of smart walls, such as in buildings or vehicles.

Assessment

• Observe students as they work on their smart wall projects, evaluating their understanding of the material learned in the lesson and their ability to apply it to constructing a functional smart wall.
• Collect and grade the smart wall projects, including any written reports or presentations submitted with the project.
• Have students complete a written quiz or test on the material covered in the lesson, including questions on the function and purpose of smart walls, the sensors and software used, and any other related topics.
