Cisco have developed a new series of free 1 hour STEM lessons suited for Years 7-9, as part of their Cisco Pathways programme. Centred on the theme of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Extended Reality (XR) and Internet of Things (IoT). The lessons include a mix of interactive activities and share insight into the world of STEM careers. This is lesson plan 3 of 3 in the series.
This collection of resources includes 3x teacher guides, including lesson overviews, activity guides and accompanying worksheets and 3x PPT presentations.
The resources are free to download. They have been designed for use with Years 7-9. They align with a range of subjects, including computer science, physics, technology, law, and engineering.
What is the Internet of Things (IoT) and how can it help firefighting in the future? These activities explore how design can improve the equipment that fire fighters use, improving safety for both the general public and the fire fighters themselves.
The single-lesson one-hour activity requires no previous experience of the Internet of things and comes with the introductory material to explore the topic with the class. The extended five-hour activity supports students to explore prototyping their own product, using their own research of fire fighting equipment to develop Internet of Things design ideas and prototypes.
