Did you know that bee-bot has an older sibling? And like all older siblings it can do so much more then its little one.

to see how long it takes for their Pro-Bot to travel the length of their body. They used the timer on the smartboard and programmed their Pro-bot to repeat the forward movement. The children took turns to reset, stop and start the timer whilst another lay down and another positioned the Pro-Bot. They then recorded the data in a table in a smart notebook. The group used different shapes to indicate on the table the longest to shortest times. They also discussed the difference (how many seconds) between each child’s times. Sorry no photos, the camera is wrecked.
