| Length | 45 Minutes |
| Pedagogical Approach | Real-life Learning |
| Competences | Pattern recognition, Control structures, Programming |
| Grades | Elementary school, 3rd – 5th grade |
| Technology | Beebot game board with backed world map (5X7 fields, field size 15X15cm): 1 Bee Bot per team (3-4 students) |
Description:
The topic should be introduced briefly – situations are found together in which actions are repeated (shoot the goal wall 5 times) or conditions are fulfilled (eat until the plate is empty)
The students now receive one playing field per team and the first worksheet, with this loops are introduced.
Worksheet 1:
Worksheet BeeBot Loops
In the next phase, various repetitions are practiced with the Bee Bot. For advanced, nested loops can be used.
The students discuss:
• Where are there still things to repeat? • How to formulate conditions (pseudo code)
