October Lesson Spotlight
This month, things are getting spooky (and seriously fun) with our lineup of seasonal STEAM lessons. Get ready for a month of hands-on STEM learning as students dive into trick-or-treat adventures, monster dance-offs, constellations, and more. Evo and Ari are bringing October excitement to your classroom through these standards-aligned activities below!
Evo Lessons
Ozobot Trick-or-Treat
In this Halloween-themed lesson, students plan a trick-or-treat path for Ozobot, deciding which houses to visit. As Ozobot travels, students collect and analyze data to solve math problems and figure out how much candy is earned.
- Grades: 2-5
- Subjects: Math, Social Studies, Computer Science
- Standards: CCSS, CSTA, ISTE
Spooky Patterns
Students use Halloween-themed symbols and color codes to program Ozobot to follow a spooky trail, strengthening their understanding of sequencing, pattern recognition, and basic programming logic.
- Grades: K-2
- Subjects: Math
- Standards: CSTA, ISTE
All About Apples
In this fall-themed lesson, students use Ozobot Blockly to program their "Apple Catcher" bot, applying early math and coding skills to collect as many apples as possible during the activity.
- Grades: K-2
- Subjects: Math, Computer Science
- Standards: CCSS, NGSS, ISTE, CSTA
Monster Mash Dance Off
Students choreograph a dance routine for their Ozobot monster, then participate in a friendly Monster Mash Dance Off against classmates.
- Grades: 3-5
- Subjects: Computer Science
- Standards: CSTA, ISTE, NGSS
Zombie Apocalypse
Students navigate a zombie apocalypse by programming their Ozobot to collect survival supplies and avoid zombies along the way.
- Grades: 3-5
- Subjects: Computer Science
- Standards: NGSS, CSTA
Halloween Riddle
Students use their multiplication skills to help Ozobot solve a Halloween-themed riddle. They guide Ozobot through a map to uncover clues and discover the final answer.
- Grades: 3-5
- Subjects: Computer Science
- Standards: CCSS, CSTA
Ari Lessons
Ari’s Pollination Garden
Students take on the role of botanists as they build an interactive flower garden and program Ari to simulate a pollinator’s journey. They track which flowers are visited and analyze the data to compare pollination patterns.
- Grades: 1-3
- Subjects: Math, Computer Science, ELA, Engineering/Tech
- Standards: NGSS, CSTA, CCSS, ISTE
Animal Life Cycles
Watch life unfold with the help of Ari! Students create interactive diagrams to show the life cycles of two different animals. As Ari moves through each stage, students observe, compare, and discover how living things grow and change in unique ways.
- Grades: 3-4
- Subjects: Science
- Standards: CSTA, ISTE, NGSS
Zodiac Constellations
In this lesson, students will step into the role of astronomers, discovering how constellations appear at different times of the year. As Ari simulates Earth's orbit around the sun, students will identify and sketch the constellations.
- Grades: 5-6
- Subjects: Science, Computer Science, Engineering/Tech
- Standards: CSTA, ISTE, NGSS
Bowling Pin Numbers Level 2
Math meets movement in this playful activity! Students set up mini bowling pins and let Ari roll right into the action. After each round, they count the pins knocked down and use the digits to practice adding five numbers—building math skills with every strike.
- Grades: 2-3
- Subjects: Math
- Standards: CSTA, CCSS
