In this lesson, students will learn how robots turn. They need to understand the differences between the three types of turns, especially the spot turn and arc turn, as the single-engine turn will be taught at higher levels.
For the first turn-in-place task, the students' robot may not start right away because the motor ports are at B and D. Let the robot run a bit, then point out the issue to the students. If they're unsure which block helps in this case, refer them to the tutorial from the previous lesson. By the end of the lesson, the program should resemble the one below, and the speed can be adjusted based on the students' judgment.
The final task requires students to place their phones on the robot and capture a video. Every student should do this, regardless of whether they have a phone. If needed, use your phone and then either send the video to their parents or wait for the parents to arrive and ask for their phone number.

Level A1 - Space Adventure - Robotics with LEGO SPIKE Prime
This is the first level of the LEGO Robotics Curriculum for second, third, and fourth-grade students.
A "space adventure" but with robots. Different robot structures are built in Level A1. The motors are controlled so that the robots perform precise movements around the "Earth", "Moon" and "Sun". We use the force sensor to overcome various obstacles we bump into. We learn interesting facts about the solar system and space vehicles.

Lesson 3 - Satellite
Introduction
In today's lesson, we will create a small robot that demonstrates the process of making circular turns, known as arc turns. The lesson will focus on satellites and their practical applications in our daily lives.
A satellite refers to a companion or an object that moves alongside another. Earth's natural satellite is the Moon, while artificial satellites are small spacecraft launched into Earth's orbit with the assistance of rockets.
An orbit represents the imaginary path that a satellite follows as it revolves around the Earth. Today, we will program our robots to move in circular orbits. Additionally, it's worth noting that some orbits resemble an ellipse and are referred to as elliptical orbits.
