Overview

What is the CUBELETS Life Science Expansion Pack?

The CUBELETS Life Science Expansion Pack from Modular Robotics is a curriculum-themed add-on for the Cubelets snap-together robotics system. Cubelets are magnetic robot blocks that combine sensors, actuators, and logic without any wires or required coding, so students can build a working robot in seconds and then layer in programming as their skills grow. This pack pairs robot blocks with Life Science lesson plans that frame the build-and-observe process around natural systems, so a robot becomes a model for studying behavior, characteristics, and adaptation.

RobotLAB resells this pack as part of its full Cubelets catalog for classrooms, makerspaces, libraries, museums, and camps. The expansion is designed to extend an existing Cubelets set rather than serve as a first kit on its own. Per the product listing it ships with Cubelets robot blocks, Brick Adapters (for connecting Cubelets to LEGO-compatible bricks), storage, a 5-port battery charger, and a one-year warranty. Sensors across the Cubelets line include Knob, Brightness, Distance, and Temperature, and the system supports programming in C for students who want to go beyond no-code building.

As America's largest commercial robotics integrator, RobotLAB sells, leases, and supports this pack nationwide and can bundle it with Cubelets base kits, the Launchpad lesson-plan library, and other subject expansion packs to build a complete K-8 STEM program. Pricing is $220 through RobotLAB, and the team can advise on which base set and expansion packs match a given grade band and class size. Call 1-87-RobotLAB for classroom quantities and rollout support.

How it works

CUBELETS Life Science Expansion Pack in detail

Elementary and middle school life science (grades 2-8)

The pack's lesson plans tie robot-building to Life Science topics: scientific observation, behavior, characteristics and properties, and life-system adaptations. Students build robot creatures, observe how sensor inputs drive behavior, and connect that to how living systems respond to their environment. It is sized for the 2nd-through-8th-grade band, with the broader Cubelets curriculum aligned to STEM and computer science standards.

Makerspaces, libraries, and museums

Because Cubelets require no wiring and no mandatory coding, they suit drop-in and rotating-group settings. The Life Science theme gives makerspace, library, and museum staff a ready-made activity track and lesson plans, so visitors of mixed ages can build and experiment with minimal facilitation while still hitting a science learning goal.

Summer camps and enrichment programs

Camps and after-school programs use the pack for short, self-contained science-and-robotics sessions. The fast snap-together build keeps younger campers engaged, the Brick Adapters let them extend creations with LEGO-compatible bricks, and the Life Science lessons supply structure for week-long or single-session themes.

Expanding an existing Cubelets program

Schools that already own a Cubelets base kit (such as the Twelve or Twenty Kit) use this as a subject-area expansion to add a Life Science unit and more blocks without buying a whole new system. RobotLAB can pair it with other expansion packs (Computational Thinking, Engineering) to round out a multi-unit curriculum.

Questions & answers

About the CUBELETS Life Science Expansion Pack.

  1. What is the Cubelets Life Science Expansion Pack?

    It is a subject-themed add-on for the Cubelets robotics system from Modular Robotics. It combines magnetic snap-together robot blocks with Life Science lesson plans covering scientific observation, behavior, characteristics, properties, and adaptation. Students build robot creatures and use them as models for studying natural systems. Call 1-87-RobotLAB for details.

  2. Do I need a base Cubelets kit to use this?

    This is an expansion pack, designed to extend an existing Cubelets set (such as the Twelve or Twenty Kit) with more blocks and a Life Science unit rather than serve as a standalone first kit. If you are starting from scratch, RobotLAB can pair it with a base kit. Call 1-87-RobotLAB and we will recommend the right combination for your grade level and class size.

  3. What ages and grades is it for?

    The pack is recommended for ages 7 and up and targeted at 2nd through 8th grade. The broader Cubelets curriculum spans a wider range, so RobotLAB can advise on fit if your program sits outside that band. Call 1-87-RobotLAB.

  4. Does it require coding?

    No. Cubelets work with no wires and no required programming - students snap blocks together to build working robots immediately. Students who want to go further can program in C. This makes the pack workable for mixed-skill and drop-in settings. Call 1-87-RobotLAB.

  5. Exactly which Cubelets and how many come in this pack?

    The product listing states it includes Cubelets robot blocks, Brick Adapters, storage, a 5-port battery charger, and a warranty, but it does not publish the exact block types and counts. For a confirmed bill of materials before you order, call 1-87-RobotLAB and we will get the current pack contents from Modular Robotics.

  6. Can RobotLAB help with classroom quantities and lesson planning?

    Yes. RobotLAB resells the full Cubelets line and can bundle this pack with base kits, the Launchpad lesson-plan library, and other subject expansion packs, plus provide deployment and training support. Call 1-87-RobotLAB for a classroom quote.

  7. How much does it cost?

    The RobotLAB price is $220. Volume and bundle pricing for multiple kits or a full classroom rollout is available - call 1-87-RobotLAB for a quote.
