Students work to improve their programming skills by programming model cars to drive through a tunnel, turn on its headlights and then extinguish the lights as the car exits the tunnel.

Students build Lego cars with attached light sensors. They program the car to enter a tunnel and reverse out when it records a darker light reading.

This lesson provides the elementary teacher with an opportunity to integrate the concept of mathematics with reading literacy. Young scholars use models to learn shapes, practice spelling the names and shapes, and learn to reflect and...
