Poonam's Day Out (Smart Animal Classification & Soundbot)

Source:

Scan 3D animal figures placed in a pond and tree habitat model. An IR obstacle-avoidance robot car navigates to animal stations, playing authentic animal calls and sorting animals by how they move.

Categorisation

Props & Materials Required

  • •Pond, Tree & Field habitat play mat
  • •Toy animals (Frog, Bird, Snake, Monkey, Fish, Ant) with NFC tags

Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Place Animals in Habitats

Place toy animals in tree branches, pond water, or ground grass on the mat.

2

Robot Navigates to Animal Station

Drive or auto-navigate the robot car to the Pond station.

3

Scan Frog NFC Tag

Scan the Frog figure on the robot's NFC reader. Speaker plays real croaking sounds: 'CROAK! CROAK!'

Movement Classification Quiz

Speaker asks: 'How does a Frog move?' Child selects button 'HOPS & SWIMS' → Green LED celebration! Frog moves into Hop category.

Why It Works & Notes

Poonam's Day Out focuses on observing how different animals move (fly, crawl, walk, hop) and where they live. Combining an autonomous robot car with NFC animal sound triggers makes zoology observation active.
