5. Procedures
1) Review of the previous session.
- We learned yesterday how we could use 2 drive Cubelets to make them go straight or go around
- OOO, show us how we made the 2 drive Cubelets go straight.
- OOO, show us how we made the 2 drive Cubelets go around.
2) Explore distance sensor Cubelets.
3) Make a maze with wood blocks to have Cubelets pass it.
- Distance sensor Cubelets sense the wooden blocks.
- How can we make Cubelets move by following the route of wood blocks (objects)? What can we do to
help our Cubelets make a turn on this corner?
4) Explore diverse actor Cubelets: bar graph, speaker, light, and rotate actor Cubelets.
5. Review of Today’s Activity.
- OOO, show me how you used 2 object sensors and 2 driver Cubelets to make them follow the block
walls (or mazes).
- Where should the two eyes of the sensors see? (They should face the walls or mazes)
