Let’s learn how to help a bee collect nectar from flowers in a fun puzzle game! Imagine you’re guiding a bee through a garden, and you want to make sure it collects nectar from every flower it finds.
In this puzzle, you will guide the bee to move forward and check if there is a flower. Even if you already know where the flowers are, it’s important to let the bee check each spot. This way, the bee won’t miss any flowers!
Remember, you should use only five blocks or fewer to write your code. This means you need to be clever and find a way to repeat the steps without using too many blocks.
Did you know that bees are super important for our planet? They help flowers grow by moving pollen from one flower to another. This process is called pollination, and it helps plants make fruits and seeds!
Bees also make delicious honey, which many people love to eat. They work really hard to make honey by collecting nectar from flowers and bringing it back to their hive.
Now that you know how to help the bee in the puzzle, have fun guiding it through the garden and collecting all the nectar!
Flower Hunt in the Garden: Go on a mini adventure in your backyard or a nearby park. Look for different types of flowers and observe if you can spot any bees visiting them. Count how many flowers you find and see if you can spot a bee collecting nectar. Draw a picture of your favorite flower and share what you observed about the bees.
Bee Dance Game: Bees communicate with each other through a special dance to show where flowers are. Create your own bee dance! Choose a spot in your room to be the “flower” and use dance moves to guide a friend or family member to it. Can you make up a dance that shows them the way without using words?
Build a Bee-Friendly Garden: With the help of an adult, plant some flowers that bees love, like sunflowers or lavender, in a small pot or garden area. Watch over time to see if any bees come to visit your flowers. Keep a journal to note down the days you see bees and how many visit your garden.
Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
“You can solve this puzzle the same way you would if there were obstacles in every space. You’ll let the computer check to see if there’s a flower for you, even though you know where a flower is and where it isn’t. You’re simply going to have the bee move forward, check to see if it’s at a flower, and if it is, you’ll need to collect nectar. Now just have the bee do this six more times, and your code will be finished. But don’t forget to keep it to five blocks or under.”
