Robots, robots, everywhere! • OK –we do our own programs there’s one last bit of serious research to be done. • Yeah, it involves Internet searching. • It ALSO requires that you use books/ magazines/newspapers as sources. • AND that you explain how you know whether a source is reliable

Robots, robots, everywhere! • Uses of robots IRL... • Oh – you have ONE WEEK ONLY so you need to get your skates on – work in pairs/threes/fours (NO BIGGER!!!) and be ORGANISED. • State where you found EVERY BIT of information (just ‘Google’ or ‘encyclopaedia’ isn’t enough!) • Explain why you trusted it – how do you know it isn’t misleading you? • Use quotations AS WELL AS your own words!
Robots, robots, everywhere! • And for those who are bigger thinkers... • What has been the impact of these robots on the world around us? How has the world around us been changed by the use of robots in the area you chose?
