📊 Grades 9–10 AI Leaders Lesson Plan
Duration: 60 minutes | Subject: AI Ethics / Algorithmic Bias
Learning Objectives
- Audit an AI system for bias using structured test prompts.
- Categorize different types of algorithmic bias (historical, representation, measurement).
- Propose mitigation strategies for biased AI systems.
Materials
- Digital games: Bias Audit Simulation + AI Ethics Lab (pack)
- Printable activities: Audit Design Worksheet, Bias Taxonomy, Audit Report Template
Lesson Structure
- Hook (5 min) – Show a real‑world example of biased AI (e.g., facial recognition errors). Ask: "Why did this happen?"
- Digital play – Bias Audit (20 min) – Students run the Bias Audit Simulation. They design test prompts and analyze results.
- Discussion (10 min) – Using the Bias Taxonomy, students categorize the biases they found. Discuss root causes.
- Digital play – Ethics Lab (15 min) – Students explore the 3D AI Ethics Lab, making decisions at each exhibit.
- Wrap‑up (10 min) – Students begin drafting their own Audit Report using the template. Share one key finding.
