Activity 1: Building a Simple Animal Identification Expert System

Objective:

Students will learn about expert systems and how they can be used to simulate the decision-making
abilities of a human expert. By the end of the activity, students will have created a simple expert
system to identify animals based on a set of characteristics.
Materials Needed:

• Computer with internet access

• Online collaborative tool (e.g., Google Docs, Google Sheets, or any similar tool)
• Presentation tool (e.g., Google Slides or PowerPoint)

5 MS. HUMA ABID

 ICT- WORK BOOK 24-25

Choose Animals to Include:

As a class, choose 5-10 different animals to include in the expert system. Examples: Cat, Dog,
Elephant, Eagle, Shark.

Identify Characteristics:

• Brainstorm a list of characteristics that can be used to identify these animals. Examples:
Number of legs, habitat, diet, presence of wings, etc.
• Create a table listing each animal and their corresponding characteristics

rules:

• If the animal has feathers and can fly, then it is likely a bird.
• If the animal lives in water and has fins, then it is likely a fish.
• If the animal has four legs and is a carnivore, then it could be a lion or a dog.

Build the Expert System in a Spreadsheet:

• Use Google Sheets or a similar tool to create the expert system.

• Create columns for each characteristic and a final column for the animal's name.
• Fill in the characteristics for each animal.

Implementing the Inference Engine:

• Use simple "IF" statements in the spreadsheet to create the inference engine.
• Example: =IF(AND(B2="Feathers", C2="Yes"), "Bird", "") for identifying birds.

Testing and Debugging:

✓ Students can test the expert system by entering different characteristics and
verifying if the correct animal is identified.
✓ Make necessary adjustments to the rules and logic if the system does not work
correctly.

Presenting the Expert System:

o Each group (or the class as a whole) can create a short presentation demonstrating
their expert system.
o Discuss the challenges faced and how they overcame them.

Reflection:

o Have students reflect on what they learned about expert systems.

o Discuss how expert systems are used in various industries and the potential future
of AI.

• Cell for identifying Fish: =IF(B2="Water", "Fish", "")
