These clip-on pushers let Bee-Bot and Blue-Bot do more than move — now they can shift objects from one place to another as they go. It's a simple way to turn a coding task into a proper problem: children have to program the robot to collect, carry and deliver, not just travel. What's included: 6 × clip-on pushers in rainbow colours Fits both Bee-Bot and Blue-Bot (robot sold separately) Works especially well with the Construction Site Mat Suitable for ages 3+ What your child practises: Planning multi-step routes to move objects to a target Directional language and spatial reasoning Problem-solving and debugging when a push doesn't land right Working together and taking turns Ideal for use with the Bee-Bot/Blue-Bot Construction Site Mat. A cheap, versatile add-on for group tasks. See more Bee-Bot accessories, or a robot in the Blue-Bot collection.

Hitch the trailer to the back of Bee-Bot or Blue-Bot and the robot can tow objects as it moves. It's a small change that adds a lot of possibility: children can program the robot to collect and deliver, act out a story, or carry counters and props from place to place. What's included: 1 × clip-on trailer that attaches to Bee-Bot or Blue-Bot (robot sold separately) Hard-wearing design built for everyday classroom use Suitable for ages 3+ What your child practises: Planning routes to collect and deliver objects Directional language and sequencing Storytelling and imaginative play through coding Counting and sorting what the robot carries A cheap way to keep activities fresh.

Bee-bot Lessons is a resource pack and CD of classroom tested Bee-bot activities and learning resources, licensed for use across the whole school. Bee-Bot Lessons was developed by Cristy McBee, a kindergarten teacher in a technology rich laboratory classroom in Rock Springs, WY. Each of the lessons has been used and refined by both the author and her colleagues throughout the school district. Each is easy to implement and has been tested in the classroom. Bee-Bot Lessons comes with a license to copy the lessons and use them throughout a school site. They work well with students from pre-kindergarten through second grade. Bee-Bot lesson cards Bee-Bot Lessons comes complete with a CD containing nearly 1000 images carefully matched to the lessons, such as the ones to the left that support the lesson on food groups. These brightly-coloured images are especially appealing to young children. Card MatThe images are organised into convenient PDF files. Each lesson specifies the file containing the images that support it, along with other suggested resources, most conveniently available at schools. Print the images, follow the lesson instructions, and set Bee-Bot off on a teaching adventure for your class! With lessons for math, science, social studies, reading, art, and more, Bee-Bot Lessons can be used throughout the day and throughout the year, incorporating technology across the curriculum. Bee-Bot Card Mat The Bee-Bot card mat is the perfect companion for Bee-Bot Lessons. The Bee-Bot card mat is a 6 by 6 grid with a clear plastic sheet on top. The grid is designed so that each square represents one Bee-Bot step. Lift the plastic sheet, place images from Bee-Bot Lessons or those you create on the grid, and lower the plastic sheet to lock them in place. With the grid as a guide, students use Bee-Bot to explore the subject or task represented by the images. The Bee-Bot card mat provides a durable and flexible learning station for Bee-Bot that can be used in all areas of the curriculum.

Problem-Solving with Bee-Bot includes a teacher manual with instructions and objectives and a CD with 150 student challenges, licensed for use across your whole school. Problem-Solving with Bee-Bot is targeted at students in first through fifth grades. Challenges are based on a grid which takes advantage of Bee-Bot's 90 degree turns. Initial exercises challenge students to develop simple routes for Bee-Bot and can be used with younger students. Subsequent exercises have more complicated routes tied to cartesian coordinates on the grid, providing hands-on practice in understanding graphing and mapping. Additional challenges focus on prediction, logic, sequencing, and directions. Working together on challenges helps student develop communication and collaboration skills while testing their solutions with Bee-Bot provides a motivating experience in self-evaluation. Problem-Solving with Bee-Bot includes a teacher manual with instructions and objectives and a CD with 150 student challenges. Challenges are self-contained on one page to be easily printed and distributed to students. Each challenge is self-contained with its goal and instructions. Students solve the challenge they are presented and then test their solution with Bee-Bot. Challenges are organized by type and level of difficulty, so teachers can match challenges to student experience and ability. Challenges that emphasize mapping, graphing, predicting, and sequencing are included along with a series of challenges that present increasingly complex Bee-Bot routes. Problem-Solving with Bee-Bot was developed by Lester Carr, a 40-year public school veteran, who drew on broad experience introducing technology into the classroom to develop Problem-Solving with Bee-Bot. Bee-Bot's simplicity and ease and use were an inspiration to develop challenges that put the motivation, excitement, and learning potential of robot technology into the hands of elementary school students.
