UNIT 11 UNIT 11 Lesson 11 40 mins Barometer is an in-built sensor on Pluto WHAT IS A BAROMETER? (10 mins) Students can be given an example of change in air pressure at sea level and at a mountain. We can sense that change in air pressure which is evident from the headache or nausea …
UNIT 10 UNIT 10 Lesson 10 40 mins Magnetometer is an in-built sensor on Pluto WHAT IS A MAGNETOMETER? (10 mins) Magnetometer works on the lines of a compass. Students can be taught magnetometer using the analogy of a compass. A magnetometer is an instrument that measures magnetism—either magnetization of magnetic material like a ferromagnet, …
UNIT 9 UNIT 9 Lesson 9 40 mins Gyro sensor is an in-built sensor on Pluto WHAT IS A GYRO SENSOR? (10 mins) Gyro sensor is also found in smartphones and other systems. One of the examples is a smartphone game “Asphalt” in which the user steers the car by rotating the screen. Gyro sensors, …
UNIT 8 UNIT 8 Lesson 8 40 mins Accelerometer is an in-built sensor on Puto WHAT IS AN ACCELEROMETER? (10 mins) Accelerometers are used in smartphones and many other systems. An example could be the screen rotation in smartphones. Its working is interesting to understand. YouTube videos can be used to explain its working. Accelerometers …
UNIT 7 UNIT 7 Lesson 7 40 mins NEED FOR SENSORS (10 mins) Reinstate the fact that the drones are not naturally stable systems and hence they require sensors. Drones are not stable systems and to make them stable, we have to use sensors. Sensors will help in a stable flight. HOW DO SENSORS ACTUALLY …
UNIT 6 UNIT 6 Lesson 6 40 mins TYPES OF SYSTEMS (25 mins) In order to understand sensors, it is important to first understand the requirements of sensors. This topic aims at explaining the requirement of sensors. A trainer can take different examples to demonstrate, the best one being a bowl and a ball experiment. …
UNIT 5 UNIT 5 Lesson 5 40 mins BUILDING THE DRONE – PLUTO (25 mins) Students can build the drone now after having basic knowledge about the controls. This will ensure that very little chaos is created while flying. ➔ Refer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COOZzHVWbwQ&t=1s TEST FLIGHT (15 mins) Ensure complete command over students. Teach them step by …
UNIT 4 UNIT 4 Lesson 4 40 mins FORCES OF FLIGHT IN DRONES (10 mins) Compare the forces of flights in aeroplane and in drone. This will help in understanding the controls of a drone. ➔ Thurst, lift, drag and weight on a drone CONTROLS OF AN AIRPLANE (10 mins) Explain the controls of an …
UNIT 3 UNIT 3 Lesson 3 40 mins INTRODUCTION TO DRONES (5 mins) The term UAV is an abbreviation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, meaning aerial vehicles which operate without a human pilot. UAVs are commonly used in both the military and police forces in situations where the risk of sending a human piloted aircraft is …
UNIT 2 UNIT 2 Lesson 2 40 mins Start the session with a demo of Pluto. Flying the drone will set the mood for the topics to be covered in the lesson. DYNAMICS OF AN AERIAL SYSTEM Every flying system has these forces acting on them. These forces are basic but very important in flying. …
