Sometimes we make a mistake in starting the robot and we have to stop it before its program runs out. Here's how to do it with a SPIKE Prime controller.

Common errors that may lead to the need to stop the robot are:
- Launching the robot in the wrong direction. Robots can move in any direction, so figure out which direction yours needs to move in and release it so it can do so without a problem. Usually this direction is away from you.
- Wrong program launched or problem launching the program. Sometimes we run the wrong program or a program with an error and then the robot goes somewhere and we don't know what's going on. Someone might also push it and that's where the error comes from.
In all these cases, you should always pick up the robot first before it breaks down or gets in the way of others. Then, to stop the program, we press the Middle button on the controller.

Robotics with LEGO SPIKE Prime - Level A1
The first level of the LEGO robotics curriculum for second, third, and fourth-grade students.
A "space adventure", but with robots. Different robot structures are built in this level. The motors are controlled so that the robots perform precise movements around the "earth", "moon" and "sun". We overcome various obstacles after bumping into them thanks to the force sensor. We learn interesting facts about the solar system and space vehicles.

Lesson 2 - Tidal waves
Introduction
Today we will learn about an interesting effect caused by the Moon: tidal waves. You may know that massive bodies have an attractive force - gravity. The moon's gravity pulls the water in the oceans and so the sea level along the ocean coasts temporarily rises or falls. The increased level is called high tide, and the decreased level is called low tide.
How much do you think the difference between high and low tide can be in the world?
The distance between high tide and low tide sea levels can reach up to 16 meters in the Bay of Fundy in Canada, and the lowest differences are in the Mediterranean, Baltic, and Black Seas, where they are only a few centimeters. We will use 50 cm as an average value that is convenient for the task.
