DASHlink is a virtual laboratory for scientists and engineers to disseminate results and collaborate on research problems in health management technologies for aeronautics systems. Managed by the Integrated Vehicle Health Management project within NASA's Aviation Safety program, the Web site is designed to be a resource for anyone interested in data mining, IVHM, aeronautics and NASA.

The student will learn a dance and identify the pattern, then create a dance routine in both repeating and growing patterns. Students will also understand and identify simple loops.

The students will collaboratively create a dance using the Dance Party Hour of Code Activity.

Zap, Zap, Zap! Spark your students’ curiosity and illuminate their understanding of electromagnet with this captivating resource. Designed to be both informative and engaging, this resource explores the fascinating world of electromagnetism, covering everything from its fundamental concepts to important aspects of electricity safety. Students will have the opportunity to delve into hands-on experiments, using simple materials such as batteries, wires, and nails to create their very own electromagnets. As they witness the power of these electromagnets firsthand, their curiosity will be piqued, fueling their desire to learn more about this incredible phenomenon. The fun doesn't stop there - students will also be able to put their electromagnets to practical use by using them to collect paper clips. To enhance the learning experience, students will then enter the data they collect into a convenient Google spreadsheet, allowing for further analysis and exploration of the results. By the end of this lesson, it is my hope that students will not only have gained a deeper understanding of electromagnetism but also develop a genuine enthusiasm for science and a desire to continue exploring its mysteries.

Students will sort and analyze data about a main character from the novel they are studying and create a desk or room depicting the accomplishments, life events and/or experiences, positive and negative of a character in a novel they are studying. This exercise would work well as a literature circle activity, group activity for a class novel, or an extension activity for an advanced class. Students will work in lit circle (small) groups on a project where they sort the data that they have learned directly and through inference while reading their story.. Students will use the data collected to create a depiction of the character's desk/room.

Friction is the amount of force or resistance acting on an object. Without friction driving or riding in vehicles would look extremely different and practically impossible. Scientists and engineers alike must collect data and information to draw conclusions after much analysis to determine the rate of friction acting on objects. In this activity students will collect and analyze data using excel sheets and create a line graph using the provided excel or google sheets program.

When designing programs or completing projects, students should consider what types of data might be used as input, how the data is to be stored and processed, and the output that meets the specific needs of the user. The collection and exchanging of data is used throughout the programming process. Both hardware and software components are critical to the collection and exchange of data. In this lesson, students will design a project to collect data involving rates. Students will input their data into a Google Sheet (software) using a computer (hardware). Students will store the data on the sheet and complete a ratio table involving the unit rate.

Overview of the activity:The students will sort and graph the items given to them and discuss the way they are sorted. They will then complete a graph of the items, and then we will construct and build with the items and explain what they build and how tall it is.

Explore science while inputting data into a google form to chart results! Students will get to investigate electrical voltage with meters. The student will answer a question by using a computer to manipulate data in order for the student to draw conclusions and make predictions.

In this lesson, students will learn how to balance chemical equations. They will also learn how to debug computer programs. By the end of the lesson, students will be able to see the similarities between these two processes and how they can be used to solve problems.

In this lesson, students are going to debug algorithms that list steps of how habitats change over time due to natural and human resources. Students will need to think critically about the order of steps that occur when habitats change over time.

Students will review major United States holidays and why they are celebrated as a precursor to completing activities to help students organize the dates of holidays sequentially. They will collect information in a graphic organizer, mark dates on a yearly calendar, debug sequencing errors in a timeline, and will make personal connections by describing how they celebrate one specific United States holiday with their families and/or friends.

During this lesson, students will make connections between Computer Science and making predictions in fiction and literary nonfiction. Students will make, confirm, and revise predictions and then see how this is rEnglishted to sequencing, looping, and debugging in Computer Science. Students will practice using text evidence and prior knowledge to make predictions. When their predictions are not correct, students will revise them by looking at the existing text evidence, adding or changing text evidence, re-evaluate their prior knowledge, and then make a new prediction. Students will learn that when they revise their predictions, it’s like Computer Scientists who have to debug algorithms when the result does not meet the expected outcome.

Students will work on taking the suggestions from partners from the last lesson and troubleshoot how they could improve their sequence for rounding. There are three lessons that go together to allow students to create a sequence, have a peer follow the sequence, then troubleshoot the sequence if steps fail.

Students will apply problem solving strategies to identify bugs in number sentences up to 9,999 and debug those number sentences. Students will review a scenario, identify the error (bug) and correctly solve and explain their debugging strategy.

TSW will be able to see the corrEnglishtion between CS standards of debugging and the English standard of recursive writing and editing. This lesson will take place after the teacher has gone over the writing rubric for Grade 8 SOL and has covered such topics as Content Written Expression and Usage and Mechanics in writing. Students should have a basic understanding of the five paragraph essay, outlining, desired construct of written essay, and have been provided with examples. Ideally this lesson will take place in the second or third quarter of the school year.

Students will debug a text by working in pairs or small groups to review a grade level text to determine where quotation marks are needed to indicate dialogue. Students will connect edits to the story to finding errors in computer programs. Provide examples.

Students will apply problem solving skills to decompose a multi-step word problem into smaller chunks. Students will color-code information to determine “step 1” and “step 2” and organize their information and work into a chart. Students will have the opportunity to extend their skills with more challenging problems or be remediated by the teacher.

Students will take the role of a PSA (Public Service Announcement) team, creating a visual presentation of a problem using thinking maps/graphic organizers, and presenting potential research-based solutions for a problem. Students will have three different problems to choose from (Ocean plastic, head injuries in football, and too much testing in schools), each with a scaffolded set of resources for them to choose from in order to aid in research and information gathering.

Students will make tasks (party planning, building a tower, writing a story) easier by breaking the problems down into manageable chunks. Students will also break down words into root words and affixes.
