🌸🤖 Science + Coding in Bloom! 🤖🌸

Our first grade students stepped into the role of botanists today as they created their very own interactive flower gardens! 🌼🌿

Using Ozobots, students explored how insects and animals help with pollination while diving into real-world science concepts. They programmed Ozobot Ari to act like a pollinator—visiting flowers, tracking movement, and collecting data to compare results. Talk about learning that buzzes with excitement! 🐝📊

This hands-on experience brought together science, coding, and creativity in one unforgettable lesson.

A big shoutout to the ONC BOCES Media Library for loaning us the Ozobots and helping make this learning experience possible! 🙌

The image is a colorful classroom collage titled “OZBOT day in 1st grade.” The text appears in large, playful letters at the center, with “OZBOT” in orange and yellow and “day in 1st grade” in green. The background is light green and decorated with illustrated grass, flowers, bees, butterflies, and a hummingbird, creating a nature-themed design. Several rounded, cloud-shaped photo cutouts are arranged around the title. Inside the photos are young students seated at classroom desks. The desks are light-colored wood and arranged in rows. On the desks are worksheets with printed shapes and lines, crayons, pencils, and small programmable Ozobot robots placed on the papers. In multiple photos, individual students are shown working with the worksheets while the small robot sits inside a drawn square or path. Other photos show students seated at desks with the same type of materials. Chairs are visible behind the desks, and the classroom floor appears light-colored. Decorative illustrated bees with dashed flight paths and colorful butterflies float between the photo cutouts. All elements together suggest a school activity where students are learning to use small robots during a themed classroom day.
