5. Procedures
1) Review the previous session (Light sensor)
- What is the name of this sensor?
- What does it sense? (yes, this is a light sensor--show a light sensor.)
2) Introduce drive actor cubelet.
- What does drive mean?
(1) Name: Drive actor cubelet
(2) Feature: Transparent (white), wheels
3) Move Cubelets with one drive actor Cubelet
- Show a demonstration (a power, a distance sensor, and a drive actor Cubelet)
4) Move Cubelets with two drive actor Cubelets.
- If you have two drive Cubelets, what will happen?
- How can we make 2 Drive Cubelets go straight forward?
5) Move Cubelets in a circle.
- How can we make 2 Drive Cubelets move in a circle? (Have children explore first and then talk about
how to do it with a demonstration)
- If we put 2 drive Cubelets together in a crossed direction, how will they move? (go along with a circle
line or don’t move)
6) Introduce Passive Cubelet
- This Green (passive) Cubelet does not show any action, so its name is Passive Cubelet. This passive
Cubelet helps other Cubelets keep their balance.
- (Give a passive Cubelet to each child and explore freely with other Cubelets)
7. Review of Today’s Activity.
- What is the name of this Cubelet? (yes, a drive Cubelet.)
- How can we make two drive Cubelets move straight forward?
- How can we make two drive Cubelets move in a circle? (with two drive Cubelets)
