Lesson 4: iOrbit

To design an algorithm and write a computer program to model Sphero orbiting the ‘Sun’


✔️ To design an algorithm and write a computer program to model Sphero orbiting the ‘Sun’


✔️ design, write and debug programs that accomplish specific goals, including controlling or simulating physical systems: solve problems by decomposing them into smaller parts

✔️use sequence, selection, and repetition in programs; work with variables and various forms of input and output

✔️use logical reasoning to explain how some simple algorithms work and to detect and correct errors in algorithms and programs


✔️ The children create code which programs Sphero to orbit an object
