IN THIS LESSON

I can create programs that use loops.

For this project, you will use a dash robot to save a cell.

Step 1 - Use the cell parts to build a plant cell.

Step 2 - Open the Blockly App on the tablet, and solve the scenarios below. Make sure to use loops wherever possible.

Scenario 1 - The cell’s DNA has been damaged. Program your robot to travel to the part of the cell where it is stored and spin around 3 times to make repairs.

Scenario 2 - The cell is no longer producing sugar for fuel. Program your robot to travel to the parts of the cell that turn sunlight into sugar. Your robot should then tell that part of the cell to get to work.

  • AKS-5 develop and employ strategies for understanding and solving problems in ways that use the power of technological methods to develop and test solutions

    IAO- 5d. create programs that include sequences, events, loops, conditionals, and variables

  • E - I can correctly design and 3D print a model of a cell and program a robot to navigate to the correct parts of a cell model.

    S - I can correctly design and 3D print a model of a cell.

    N - I am learning to design a 3D printed cell model.

    U - I cannot yet use 3D design software to create a 3D model.
