Step 1: Watch the Planetary Motion Intro video in the app.

Step 2: Planets spin in different directions. You will be coming up with a planet of your own. To see what happens as a sphere spins, try coding the Sphero to rotate. Select the icon at the top that looks like a steering wheel to enter into the coding part of the app. The coding blocks are at the bottom of the screen. Use your finger to scroll through the codes. Drag the code to the in the workspace.

Step 3: Open a Google Doc and share it with the group. There are two questions to answer. You may have to go back to the code and edit it to reflect what the questions are asking. Answer the question in the Doc. Keep following the steps and answering the questions in the Doc.
