 Welcome to the Fun With Blocks Journey! Are you ready for an
exciting adventure with Frog? Let’s help Frog hop along the path
and reach the special marked location. Sometimes, Frog might
even find some yummy food along the way, and we’ll need to
make sure he grabs it!

First Hop

Ready to help Frog on his awesome adventure? Find where Frog

starts and look for the special marked location he needs to reach.
Count the circles in between to see how many hops Frog needs to
take. Then, guide him hop by hop until he gets there. Don't forget
to cheer him on with every jump—hoppity hop, hooray! Ready to
get hopping? Let's go!

www.educobot.com 5
 Great job on the first task, superstars! Now, let's use your
awesome skills to help Frog reach his destination in the
second challenge. You can do it! Hop, hop, hooray!

Leap to Six

Frog’s next challenge is to hop 6 times, but here's a hint: You can
make it quicker by using just one forward block! Can you figure out
how? Happy hopping, Frog!

You can switch

to code mode
too to use
syntax that will
help the frog
reach the
marked location.

 Turn & Hop

In this task, the path for the frog is getting a little challenging. The
frog needs to not only hop forward but also take a turn to reach its
destination. Let's find a way to help Frog through this twisty path!

Direction Check 3

www.educobot.com 7
 You're all doing amazing, Explorer! Task 4 was a hop in the left
direction for Frog. Now get excited for tasks 5, 6, 7, and 8,9—
they're full of surprises and new challenges! The adventure
continues, and you're leading the way!

ZigZag Path 1

Hold on to your hats, adventurers! Task 10 is here, and it's going to

be a wild ride for Frog. This time, Frog needs to not only hop
forward but also navigate not one but two turns to reach the finish
line! Let's put our thinking caps on and help Frog conquer this
extra-twisty journey!

You're doing fantastic! Tasks 11 and 12 are just like the last
ones. Frog’s counting on you to hop forward and navigate two
turns all on your own. You've got this! Keep up the great work!

www.educobot.com 8
 Turnabout & Leap 1

Get ready for an exciting challenge, adventurers! In task 13, there's

a new "turn around" block for Frog, and more turns to navigate.
Can you master this twisty journey and guide Frog to success?
Let's hop to it!

Turnabout & Leap 2

Task 14 introduces an exciting new challenge for Frog! You'll now

have a "Long jump" block that lets Frog skip ahead 2 steps with a
single hop. It's like giving Frog a super jump to get closer to the
goal faster. Let's see how Frog can use this new ability to leap
closer to the goal. Get ready for some big hops and lots of fun!

www.educobot.com 9
 Turnabout & Leap 2

You're cruising through these challenges! Tasks 15, 16, 17, and
18 are just like the previous ones. Frog will continue to use the
"Long jump" block and navigate through twists and turns to
reach the goal. Keep up the awesome work and let's see how
far Froggy can go!

Hop & Go 1

Get ready for a new twist in Task 19! The frog will now have a "high
jump" block, which allows it to leap over obstacles in the path. It's
a super cool move that will help the frog reach the goal even when
faced with obstacles. Let's cheer the frog on as we master this
new challenge together!

www.educobot.com 10
 You're on a roll! Task 20 is just like Task 19, where the frog will
continue to use the "high jump" block to jump over obstacles
and reach the goal. Keep up the great work, and let's see what
different adventures await the frog!

 CATAPULT CHALLENGE

Activity: In this hands-on activity,

students will assemble a
catapult using provided
materials such as wooden sticks,
rubber bands, and a base
platform. After assembling, they
will load a lightweight hollow
ball onto the catapult, and by
pulling back the lever, they will
fling the payload to see how far it
travels.

 EXPLORING AIR PRESSURE
WITH SYRINGES

Activity: Students will use two

syringes—one thick and the oth-
er thin—connected by a straw.
By pressing the plungers of the
syringes, they will explore how
air pressure is affected by the
size of the syringe. The thinner
syringe will create higher pres-
sure, while the thicker syringe
will create lower pressure. This
will demonstrate how air moves
differently in spaces of varying
size and how pressure plays a
role in fluid dynamics.

Learning Outcome: Students will understand the concept of air pressure

and how it varies between different sizes of syringes. They will learn that
thinner syringes create higher pressure and thicker syringes create
lower pressure, helping them grasp the basic principles of fluid dynam-
ics and how pressure operates in various systems.

 EXPLORING SHADOW SIZES

Activity: In this activity, students will explore how the size of a shadow changes by using a torch,
shape cards (e.g., triangle, circle), and a color filter. The first frame holds the torch, the second
frame supports the shape card, and the third frame holds the color filter. Finally, a board will be
positioned to capture the shadow. As the board is moved back or forth, the size of the shadow will
change, demonstrating the relationship between distance and shadow size.

 SOLAR SYSTEM PLACEMENT

Activity: In this activity, students will place planet cutouts on a board that already has
marked spots representing the correct positions of each planet in the solar system.
The goal is to match the planets with their respective locations in the solar system in
the correct order, from the closest to the farthest from the sun.

MATERIALS NEEDED

Final Outcome

Learning Outcome: Students will learn the order of the planets in the solar
system and understand their relative positions from the Sun. This activity
helps reinforce knowledge of the solar system, providing a visual and inter-
active way to remember the planets and their unique characteristics.

 PERISCOPE PROJECT

Activity: In this activity, students will assemble a periscope using provided cutouts
and mirrors. They will carefully follow the instructions to create a simple device that
allows them to see objects from around a corner or over an obstacle. The mirrors will
be placed at specific angles to reflect light and enable the periscope's functionality.

 HYDRAULIC ARM

Activity: In this activity, students will

assemble a hydraulic arm using MATERIALS NEEDED
provided cutouts and syringes. By
connecting the syringes with tubes,
students will learn how hydraulic
systems work by controlling the
movement of the arm through water
pressure. The syringes act as pistons
to control the arm's joints, allowing
students to lift or move objects,
mimicking a real-world hydraulic
mechanism.
