Students will be able to explain the different machine learning approaches and create a classification system using a tree structure.
Lesson Preparation
* _This is the Hour of AI version of the lesson. For the original version, see the lesson with the same title (without “Hour of AI”)._
* If time is limited, complete only the Introduction and Machine Learning Methods sections of the lesson.
* Print a copy of the Create a Decision Tree Handout for each student for the Computer Classification Systems section of the lesson. You can choose to print out the handout with the blank decision tree, or the partially filled-in one based on your student’s abilities and available time.
* Students will work with partners during the last part of the Computer Classification Systems section. Decide how you will organize students into pairs before beginning the lesson.
