In this lesson, students will understand the basic idea that businesses use data to provide evidence on trends being noticed, success of business, etc. This evidence helps to support decisions made or predictions for future. Students will use computers to organize data collected on fictional doughnut shops. Students will discover that computers help them organize information, or data, in a variety of ways. They will also discover that some graphs lend themselves better than others to given data. Students will use the graphs to answer questions rEnglishted to graphs, cite evidence provided in graphs, and make predictions on what could occur next.

Students will break down (decompose) an ecosystem into smaller parts to include community, populations and organisms and how they rEnglishte to each other. Students will understand that this process is known as decomposition in computer science which facilitates the design, implementation and review processes in developing a program.
While the Internet has made research much easier than in the past, …
While the Internet has made research much easier than in the past, this access has also allowed for non-vetted and factually inaccurate sources to be presented as valid. Teachers will guide students through 2 opposing articles and model the process of evaluating articles for validity and bias. Students will then collaboratively create a checklist of questions to use when reading a research article. Using their collaboratively created checklists, students will locate and evaluate a variety of articles that pertain to the use of different types of energy resources (renewable and nonrenewable). Students will evaluate multiple aspects of an online or print source to test its credibility and possible bias. Articles should be analyzed for the purpose, accuracy, and currency.
In this lesson, students will practice using Desmos Scientific Calculator as their …
In this lesson, students will practice using Desmos Scientific Calculator as their program. Students will practice using variables and evaluating expressions using their replacement values by creating a type of if-statement in their Desmos calculator. Students will be able to investigate how the outputs change when the variable's value stays the same but the expression changes. Students will be able to complete a pre-test showing their understanding of prior skills including order of operations, simplifying expressions, and evaluating expressions without Desmos Scientific Calculator. Students will be able to use their skills setting up variables and plugging in their values to evaluate expressions on a worksheet as well as digital task cards.
Students will extend their understanding of probability from 0 being impossible to …
Students will extend their understanding of probability from 0 being impossible to 1 being certain by exploring experimental probability through certain experiments: rolling a die, tossing a coin, spinning a spinner, etc. Then, students will use CODAP to create simulations and evaluate whether those simulations are accurate based on the data being generated.
During this lesson, students will explore even and odd numbers while building …
During this lesson, students will explore even and odd numbers while building background knowledge and vocabulary rEnglishted to computer science. Specifically, students will learn about attributes and work to identify and describe attributes of even and odd numbers while learning about how attributes are used in computer science.
In this activity the students will merge their knowledge about equations and …
In this activity the students will merge their knowledge about equations and expressions ( Mathematics sol 4.16) into pictorial formats using the Computer Science concept algorithms (4.2d) and solve those equations using data analysis ( CS4.12, and CS4.13)Students will review the difference between equations and expressions and practice identifying variables. They will be presented with a series of equations in a puzzle format that have pictures representing the variables.Solving for the mystery values of the variables, they will determine and discuss the strategies/best practices for finding the different values of the 3. or 4 variables. Unplugged) Then they will be tasked with the challenge to create their own mystery puzzle with 3 + ( differentiation ) variables and including the operations: add/subtract or mult/divide, or combinations of add/sub/mult/divide . An answer key should be included with their puzzle. (plugged)The students will create their puzzles in google slides in the assigned levels of complexity, placing them in a shared folder for peers to solve.
In this lesson, students will explore digital art and learn the importance …
In this lesson, students will explore digital art and learn the importance of giving credit to sources when using or remixing artwork created by others by addressing the essential question: "Why is it important to give credit for using someone else's idea, even if you aren't quoting them directly?"
In this lesson, students will build and create food chains based on …
In this lesson, students will build and create food chains based on non-numeric data from an ecosystem they researched. By breaking down the components of a food chain into inputs, processes, and outputs, their created model can be used to predict the behavior of different organisms in the chain (what happens if we remove one organism or add multiple of another).
In this unplugged lesson, students will learn about significant landmarks and geographic …
In this unplugged lesson, students will learn about significant landmarks and geographic features in different regions of the world. They will use their knowledge of maps and globes to locate these landmarks and then remind students how computer scientists use decomposition to make large problems easier to solve by breaking them down into smaller subproblems. Students will apply their problem decomposition skills to break down a complex problem rEnglishted to planning a trip to visit some of these landmarks.
The office just called your teacher and informed your class that the …
The office just called your teacher and informed your class that the gym has been infected with BUGS! Yuck! Students are given the task of helping the exterminator “debug” the gym so classes can resume as normal. Students will trace a set of order of operations problems that are solved incorrectly and identify the bugs in the solution. Once a bug has been detected, students must make the necessary changes to debug the problem to get the correct solution.
Students will be asked the question “What is your favorite dessert?” and …
Students will be asked the question “What is your favorite dessert?” and will be able to choose from cookies, cake, ice cream, or fruit. The students will take turns sharing their vote and the data will be collected on a chart in tally form. The class will then take that data and input it into an object graph. Students will answer questions and interpret the data resulting from their survey.

During this lesson, students will be discussing similarities and differences between fiction and nonfiction texts. Students will classify items by a variety of attributes into sets and subsets on a Venn diagram collaboratively and independently. In addition, students will learn that classifying items and objects into sets and subsets is what Computer Scientists do, others in the Mathematics field, and in many real-world situations.

In computer science flowcharts are used to address complex problems, however in this assignment they will help analyze elements on the Periodic Table. Students will review the provided flowcharts and then apply their knowledge of the periodic table. The following concepts are included: How the periodic table is divided into metals, nonmetals and metalloids and their descriptive vocabulary, the difference between groups and periods, group names and the number of valence electrons they have. Lastly students will demonstrate their understanding of flowcharts by creating and sharing a flowchart explaining a previously learned physical science topic.
