Similar to butterflies, frogs also undergo several stages of metamorphosis. Frogs start their lives as eggs laid near or in water sources such as rivers, lakes, swamps. The eggs hatch into aquatic larvae called tadpoles that have tails and internal gills. As they grow older, tadpoles develop limbs and lungs. The life cycle is completed when tadpoles lose their tails and metamorphose into adults.

Courses and lessons with this Tutorial

This Tutorial is used in the following courses and lessons

Level D1. "Animals". Robotics with LEGO

This is the seventh level of the Robotics with LEGO curriculum for students in third or fourth grade.

In this level students focus on the rotational sensor that is part of every motor in the robotics set.
Robot constructions imitate animals and their behavior. Students create programs that check whether the robot's claws or pecks have successfully caught an object. That sensor in the motors allows the robots to go back in their lairs even after the use of unlimited movement.

Lesson 7 - Frog

Introduction

Today we are going to build a Frog robot.

[In Development] The fun level - Game-oriented introduction to LEGO robotics

A level, designed for introduction in LEGO-robotics, focused mostly on games. We use goal-oriented challenges to make the students want to accomplish a certain task, learning a lot in the process. Some of the games we have included here are football, bowling, paper-plane competition and many more. It is suitable for studens 8 to 12 years old, but even older students will have a lot of fun with the activities.

This is a brand new course that we are experimenting with in a groups in June 2019. Keep in mind that it is possible to use it for summer camps and groups, but there are a few lessons that will be improved on the fly.
