Grade(s)

4, 5

Overview

In this video segment from Cyberchase, the CyberSquad observes the movement of Hacker’s robotic frog. The frog has been programmed to make a certain number of hops depending on the button that is pushed. The CyberSquad figured out the original input/output pattern but now the frog is larger, and there is a new pattern they must figure out in order to control the frog.
