1 - Getting Started ~4 mins
Think about getting ready for school. What do you do first? What comes next? Could you tell a robot how to do it, step by step?
2 - Steps in the Right Order ~5 mins
Listen while your teacher shows the steps for brushing teeth. What happens when we mix two steps up?
3 - Order the Steps on the Board ~7 mins
Look at the path on the board. Call out which step should come first, next and last. Your teacher will move the blocks on the board. Then we press run and see if the order was right.
Reach the flag in order
4 - Order the Cards and Play Robot ~13 mins
In your group:
- Put the picture-step cards into the right order.
- Say the steps out loud together.
- Choose one person to be the robot.
- Read one card at a time. The robot follows each step exactly — no guessing and no extra moves.
5 - Record Our Steps ~6 mins
On your Investigation Journal page, show the steps of your group's job in order. Draw a tick or a happy face if the robot finished the job.
Optional: if your group tried a wrong order and fixed it, you can sketch what you changed.
