You can download the Ultrasonic sensor block (and Gyro sensor too) from the official MINDSTORMS website.

Look for "Ultrasonic Sensor Block" near the bottom of the downloads page.

And then import the downloaded file within your EV3 Home Edition. – Fabian Deitelhoff Feb 07 '17 at 23:12
Can we not just get the teacher edition for Mac OS. I though this was supposed to be simple for kids. Downloading plugins is no simple. Where can I find the teacher edition for Mac OS? – Andrew S Feb 05 '20 at 07:14
Since November 2019, LEGO has a new scratch-based programming software for macOS. It includes the Ultrasonic and Gryo sensors in all versions (home and edu). – David Lechner Feb 05 '20 at 16:38

Lego changed their website for LEGO MINDSTORMS, so you can download all needed stuff for EV3 or NXT from here: https://www.lego.com/en-us/themes/mindstorms/downloads
