Lesson

Plant Vs. Animal Cells

Author: Hannah Quehl

Students learn about plant and animal cells and how they are different in structure, shape, and function. Students train a teachable machine to tell the difference between a plant cell and an animal cell, and then create their own 3D model in Tinkercad. They will run their created model through the teachable machine to see if the AI can tell which type of cell they created.

Lesson

Plant leaf identification

Author: Rita Mathew

This lesson focuses on Georgia agriculture and using computer vision to identify plant leaves. Students gain an understanding of image classification algorithms and a practical application in the real world, assisting agriculture. Students use pre-collected samples to train their own model, and can also be guided to take images of leaves in their own gardens, if applicable. 


Link to existing images of 5 plants: Weed, Tomato, Mango, Lemon, Basil. Can be used to train a teachable machine model.

Lesson

Translucent, Transparent, and Opaque

Author: Jennifer Deckard

This lesson asks students to learn the differences between translucent, transparent, and opaque materials and how light flows through each. The students partake in a lab where they shift the transparency of water using juice or milk and compare the computer's ability to see through it.
