Got writer’s block? Let your Sphero robot help. In this lesson, you’ll program your robot to generate unique writing prompts on demand.

I can...

• describe how variables are used in programs and tell the difference between number and string variables.
• understand how nested if then else controls can be used to create multiple outcomes.

You can program your Sphero robot to draw a square, but what about an octagon? A decagon? In this lesson, you will learn how to use the loop block to minimize the amount of code we have to write!

I can...

• name real-world examples of loops.
• explain why using a loop block is useful in coding.
• use the loop x times block to program Sphero robot to repeat an action.

I can...

• describe cause and effect (if/then) relationships in my everyday life.
• understand how controls, such as the if then else block, are used to make programs respond to input.
• program the comparators in an if then else block to interpret the light sensor.

What do owls, possums, and bats have in common? They are nocturnal animals, only active at night. Can we program Sphero to mimic a nocturnal animal, then a diurnal animal, active during the day?
