Directions:
Think about what kinds of lines and turns BeeBot can make as he travels. Brainstorm a list of shapes that can be made using those types of lines and turns.
Draw the shapes you want BeeBot to make on the graph paper. How many different shapes can you make?
For each shape, plan your program using your sketches to help you. Each square on the graph paper will equal one move for BeeBot.
Code BeeBot using your plan.
Reflect on your code using one of the reflection options.
Extension: How far did BeeBot travel? Find the perimeter of each shape and record on the graph paper.
Explain why BeeBot can't create certain shapes. Did your group initially decide on a shape only to discover that BeeBot can't make that shape. Use the Reflection Sheet to explain why.
