5. Procedures
1) Review of the concept of programming and routes on the grid.
- Programming means that we teach our Bee-Bots to move in the way we want by giving several
commands at once.
2) Explore a Grid (2x3)
- We call this board a “grid.” What is the shape of this box? Yes, a grid has lots of squares.
- First, please make sure that you place your Bee-Bot in the middle of this square to help your Bee-Bot
accurately move from one square to another.
3) Find several routes together to go to the hive by drawing lines on the board.
- Can you find a way to go to the hive on this grid?
- Can you draw the line on this grid?
4) Program together to make a Bee-Bot move on the route.
- What commands do we need to make a Bee-Bot go along on this line?
- Pay attention to which direction the Bee-Bot is facing.
- Set a new final goal by using challenge cards, drawing or decorating.
5) Program the Bee-Bots to make Bee-Bot move on the grid as a new target.
- Let’s program your individual Bee-Bots to make it go to this place.
6. Review of Today’s Activity.
- We used a grid and tried to find different ways for our Bee-Bot to arrive in the goal. We then used
command cards to program our Bee-Bot.
- Finally, we pushed buttons to enter those commands to our Bee-Bot.
