5. Procedures
1) Get an individual Bee-Bot.

2) Look through new ‘routes’ and choose a route.
(Children can have different levels of line routes depending on their ages and understanding.)
    Level 1
    Level 2
    Level 3

3) Think about what commands Bee-Bots need to move along with the lines.

4) Have free time to make individual Bee-Bots move along with the lines.
- Our Bee-Bots can learn how to move only when we give them commands by pushing command 
  buttons. 
  If we move Bee-Bots with our hands, they can’t learn.
- In this place, what command do you need to give to your Bee-Bot to make it turn?
5. Design and decorate around each route.

6. Show how my Bee-Bots move along with the lines to others.
- Who wants to show how you program your Bee-Bot?
What commands did you use for your programming?

6. Review of Today’s Activity. 
Programming means that we teach our Bee-Bots to move in the way we want by giving several 
  commands at once.
If we give our Bee-Bots several commands at once before pushing the GO button, we can make them 
  move without stopping.
