5. Procedures
1) Review the previous session.
- The distance sensor senses objects differently, depending on distances
2) Introduce the light sensor Cubelet.
- There is another sensor, which is called a light sensor
- What will the light sensor sense?
3) Explore the light sensor with individual Cubelets.
(1) Name: Light sensor
(2) Function: Sensing lights
(3) Feature: Black color, a small pink circle which senses lights
(4) Collect individual Cubelet
4) Experiment
- We will check how the light sensor works with a light
- Let’s make the room dark
- Use a flashlight in the darkroom to have the light sensor sense the light (to make sure that this
experiment succeeds, the teacher will have to allow only one child at a time to use the flashlight)
- What happens when the light sensor senses the light?
5) Change the types of lights
- Let’s see how the light sensor senses different lights. (Have a child lights one at a time in the darkroom
except for the sunlight.)
6) Explore the light sensor by using a speaker Cubelet
- (Children explore with their own Cubelets: power Cubelet, light sensor Cubelet,
light/bar graph/speaker actor Cubelets)
7. Review of Today’s Activity.
- What is the name of this Cubelet?
- What does it sense?
