Table 2 The structure of the AI-integrated science lesson

From: Integrating artificial intelligence into science lessons: teachers’ experiences and views

The flow of the lesson (segments)

Descriptions

(1) Pre-lesson video primers

– Introduce the concept of AI

– Provide an overview of the machine learning (ML) cycle

(2) Recapitulation of key science ideas

– Recap key science ideas taught in Grade 7 science, including diversity, models, and scientific methods

(3) Linking the key science ideas to key AI ideas

– Do a trigger activity using “Quick, Draw!”, which showcases the predictive abilities of ML

– Engage in an activity to understand how machines and humans learn

(4) Developing an AI predictive model using Orange program

– Pose the scientific problem of developing a model that enables determination of conditions for deploying solar panels on Mars to harness solar energy

– Build a predictive model involving big data based on ML algorithm using the Orange software program
