Magic Dot Ball (Gr.3-5)

Description

In this puzzle your students will turn Dot into a fortune telling device using only 3 blocks over a series of 3 challenges. Sound impossible? Well, it?s not!


Objectives

  • My Sounds - students will learn how to record their own sounds and phrases in the My sounds block, i.e., 10 responses to "Yes" or "No" type questions.
  • Random - students will learn how to set a Random sound selection in My Sounds block.
  • When Condition - students will learn how to edit the When event, e.g., changing from Top Button to Shake.

Lesson Procedure

Students will have fun recording 10 different responses to "Yes" or "No" type questions. By editing the When event from Top Button to Shake, Dot will become a Magic Dot Ball that can "forecast" the future when shaken. This is a great opportunity to explore and discuss random chance and likelihood with students, which is a part of mathematics, logic, problem solving and life in general.
