In this activity, your students will learn about algorithms and use robots to practice their map skills as they explore the geographic features found in each continent! Working in small groups students will program Root robots to “travel” to each continent. Once there, they will be introduced to the major rivers and mountain ranges using photographs! In other stations, students will put together a world map floor puzzle and work on their Chromebook to correctly sort landforms into their locations.

Students will explore how to classify and sort animals by different characteristics and attributes like their body coverings. Using an animal template provided and fun craft supplies like pasta shells, textured fabric, sequins, and cotton balls, students will create their own animal body covering models. This engaging hands-on learning experience mixes computer science, art, and life science all in one lesson to get your students excited about learning!

This lesson allows students to experience coding in a low stress, engaging environment while reinforcing thier learning about food webs and the interrelationships of the animals. No prior coding experience is required for the teacher or the students. Teachers and students will be walked through the steps of creating a cartoon demonstrating the transfer of energy in the food web. They will learn to use sequencing, loops, variables, and opperations on those variables all while creating a fun moving cartoon. Once students have learned the basic moves, they will be able to code further steps independently to add more interest to their cartoon.

Watch and explore the different ways the mouse can move (back- and- forth, circular, straight, spinning), try to remember the password pattern to guess the correct password. The stronger and more difficult the code, the harder the password pattern will be to crack. Create a strong pattern so your classmates don’t crack your code!

Students will be creating models of the houses of the three American Indian Cultures. Using the Templates provided and the 3Doodlers you will be creating the shelter and other characteristics of the cultures. The 3Doodlers start+ are for ages as low as 6. What better way to remember the types of houses than making them!

The VR experience in this project sounds like a great way to offer a more interactive learning environment. It's exciting to think about how teachers can use this technology (YouTube 360) to enhance their teaching methods and help students learn in new and exciting ways. The hands-on experience will certainly help teachers better understand the features and functionalities of VR, and how it can be effectively used in the classroom.

This lesson incorporates computer science with an interesting enrichment topic for Environmental Science II, Astronomy - Dark Matter. Students will be able to visualize WHY scientists believe that 85% of matter in our universe is not the same as what we are made of. Using simple orbital speed kits, your class can combine their data and analyze it to see what happens to orbital speed with increasing distance from the barycenter of a galaxy. They can add mass to the center to represent dark matter and see how that increases the orbital speed - just like what Vera Rubin discovered in the 1960s.

Students learn about how computers represent data visually and how artists have used self portraits with symbolism to represent themselves. Then students will create their own data selfies including adding their names written in binary code. Written descriptions will be added to display alongside their artworks that will detail their data symbols and what their artwork says about them and how it relates to computer science.
