Lesson Overview
In this lesson, students experience the process of generation and classification as they mix colors on an online platform and observe that they can create a varied palette of colors with a few input colors. Students will learn about examples of AI systems that perform classification and generation and practice distinguishing between generating and classifying AIs.
Total Lesson Time: 45 min
Learning Objectives: Students will be able to . . .
- Describe the process of “classification” and “generation” in their own words
- Give original examples of “classification” and “generation” from their lives
- Contrast the process of classifying to the process of generating (i.e., how are they different?)
Vocabulary Introduced: classification, generation,
Pacing:
- Opening (10 min)
- Color Matching and Create a Color Palette activities (20 min)
- 5 min - Introduction to terms (5 min)
- Closing and Classifier or Generator Activity (10 min)
