Activity Overview
A sorting activity in which students sort pictures of contemporary technology into two groups: technology with AI and technology without AI. The activity is designed to get students thinking about the three parts of ML (dataset, learning algorithm, prediction) as a tool for determining whether the technology in their everyday life uses AI or not.
Total Activity Time: 15 minutes
Materials:
- Student worksheet: online version
- Teacher answer key
Options for Differentiation
- Assign partners or small heterogeneous ability groups of 3-4 for “AI or Not AI?” activity
- Assign (as appropriate) Worksheet Version 2, which has fewer pictures to classify.
- Assign (as appropriate) only the first 6 - 10 technologies in the Student Worksheet
- Introduce the extended activities “Explore AI Journal”, which students can work on as an ongoing project once they have completed material for this or any other lesson.
