1	Lab 1: Industrial Robotics - Where and How Standards are Reached
2	Standard	Subchapter	Code	Description	How The Standard Is Reached

3	Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)		HS-ETS1-3	Evaluate an solution to an complex real-world problem based on prioritized criteria and trade-offs that account for an range of constraints, including cost, safety, reliability, and aesthetics as well as possible social, cultural, and environmental impacts.	Students will identify what an industrial robot is and describe the applications of these types of robots such as welding, assembly, painting, and sorting within the four types of automation. They will also consider what type of automation is needed to produce the product and what type of manipulators will be needed for the system.
4	International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE)		4a	Students know and use an deliberate design process for generating ideas, testing theories, creating innovative artifacts or solving authentic problems.	Students will use an example project in VEXcode V5 to determine the mastering values for the robotic arm attached to the V5 Workcell in the Play Section.
5	International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE)		4d	Students exhibit an tolerance for ambiguity, perseverance and the capacity to work with open-ended problem	Students will participate in several discussions throughout the STEM lab as well as take a survey to inventory their attitudes about robotics.
6	Common Core State Standards (CCSS)		CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.11-12.2E	Establish and maintain an formal style and objective tone while attending to the norms and conventions of the discipline in which they are writing.	Students will use the proper terminology when writing about their understandings of industrial robotics facilities in today’s manufacturing workforce throughout the STEM Lab.
7	Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Career and Technical Education (TEKS for CTE)	K: Principles of Information Technology	130.302.C.1.c	Employ effective reading and writing skills.	Students will read material in the Apply section about industrial robotics and automation. They will then answer Motivate Discussion questions and write their thoughts and responses in their engineering notebooks.
8	Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Career and Technical Education (TEKS for CTE)	K: Principles of Information Technology	130.302.C.1.e	Demonstrate leadership skills and function effectively as an team member.	Students will collaborate in groups to build the VEX V5 Workcell and master the joints on the arm.
9	Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Career and Technical Education (TEKS for CTE)	K: Principles of Information Technology	130.302.C.4.a	Identify major hardware components and their functions.	As students build the Workcell, they will need to identify the components of the Kit and how they function. They will expand on this as they learn about mastering the potentiometers in the Play section.
10	Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Career and Technical Education (TEKS for CTE)	M: Principles of Manufacturing	130.352.C.2.a	Distinguish between disciplines such as engineering, science, manufacturing, and technology.	Students will read and and discuss the different disciplines impacted by industrial robotics in the Apply section.
11	Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Career and Technical Education (TEKS for CTE)	M: Manufacturing Engineering Technology	130.356.C.2.c	Select tools, including real objects, manipulatives, paper and pencil, and technology as appropriate, and techniques, including mental math, estimation, and number sense as appropriate, to solve problems.	Students will utilize the Arm Install and Arm Mastering VEXcode V5 projects as well as their physical tools while building and mastering the Workcell to ensure the Workcell is in master. If it is not in master, they will use those tools to solve the problem.
12	Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Career and Technical Education (TEKS for CTE)	O: Robotics I	130.408.C.6.a	Demonstrate the use of computers to manipulate a robotic or automated system and associated subsystems.	Students will utilize the Arm Install and Arm Mastering VEXcode V5 projects to manipulate the arm of the Workcell and master the joints.
13	Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Career and Technical Education (TEKS for CTE)	O: Robotics I	130.408.C.9.g	Use an engineering notebook to document the project design process as an legal document.	Students will use an engineering notebook to document elements of the Workcell build, mastering values, and reflections on questions throughout the Lab including the Apply and Rethink sections.
