This lesson supports first graders in their understanding of password safety and its importance. The lesson incorporates a short 3 minute video, discussion questions, whole class model of making a safe password, and an activity for students to practice making a strong password on their own. The lesson is approximately 30 -45 minutes in length. It can be split into small portions or completed all at one time.

Students will use a letter Paul Revere wrote to learn how he worked to keep meetings secret and warn the colonists that the British army was on their way.

During the American Revolution, the Patriots relied on sending coded messages to prevent the British from understanding the actions of the Continental Army. George Washington’s army used this cipher– though it is not a very secure system in its original form. The Patriots adapted it by using a randomized arrangement of the alphabet. This cipher was also used to some extent during the US Civil War.

This activity is from the Cyber.org website and covers the topic of the German Enigma Encryption machine that was used during World War II. Students will learn about how the Enigma machine worked and the process it used to encrypt messages. Students will be able to create their own Enigma machine using a normal size Pringles can and the activity sheet in PDF format. This is a great way to teach the concepts of encryption and a low cost way to give students a hands on approach to encrypting and decrypting messages.Ideas on how to use this activity would be to give the students a message to encrypt using their Pringles can Enigma machine or having students send an encrypted message to a classmate with the encryption key and have that student decrypt the message. To show the power of this type of encryption you can have other students try to decrypt the message without the key so they can see how difficult it would have been to crack the code during World War II.Link to the Cyber.org website for this activity

Strand: Cybersecurity7.6 The student will describe how physical and digital security measures protect electronic information.A network is a collection of computers, phones, servers, network or other devices connected to allow data sharing among users. An example of a network is the internet, which connects tens of millions of people all over the world.There are two types of networks. Private networks are the kind you use at home. Private networks have security measures in place to prevent unwanted or unauthorized connections. Public networks are networks that are often used at schools or hospitals. Public networks are far less secure than home or private networks.

From Common Sense Education: “The Internet is filled with all kinds of interesting people, but sometimes, some of them can be mean to each other. With this role play, students understand why it’s often easier to be mean online than in person, and how to deal with online meanness when they see it.”

Setting and maintaining expectations is an essential indicator of future student success at all grade levels. At the start of each school year, classes review citizenship skills to get reacclimated to the school and the classroom environment. Help students set a strong foundation for their digital lives by teaching digital citizenship and face-to-face skills. In doing so, students will be equipped with tips for safety and success no matter their setting.

This lesson is presented by Code.org Lesson 8: Cybersecurity - Simple Encryption
From the website: OVERVIEW "In this lesson, students are introduced to the need for encryption and simple techniques for breaking (or cracking) secret messages. Students try their own hand at cracking a message encoded with the classic Caesar cipher and also a Random Substitution Cipher. Students should become well-acquainted with idea that in an age of powerful computational tools, techniques of encryption will need to be more sophisticated. The most important aspect of this lesson is to understand how and why encryption plays a role in all of our lives every day on the Internet, and that making good encryption is not trivial. Students will get their feet wet with understanding the considerations that must go into making strong encryption in the face of powerful computational tools that can be used to crack it. The need for secrecy when sending bits over the Internet is important for anyone using the Internet."
OBJECTIVE "Explain why encryption is an important need for everyday life on the Internet. Crack a message encrypted with a Caesar cipher using a Caesar Cipher Widget Crack a message encrypted with random substitution using Frequency Analysis Explain the weaknesses and security flaws of substitution ciphers"
The lesson is mapped out for teachers. It is easy to follow and includes vocabulary to cover, links to the necessary materials, and a teaching guide with background information, tips, and prompts.
