The student will categorize words heard in a Jack Hartmann Youtube video as either nouns or verbs.

The student will create an action plan to begin an online campaign to promote the importance of conservation of energy. The student will integrate . Within the action plan the student will: address the platform that will be used to promote the campaign, specific strategies or ways that households can conserve energy, create and design a campaign logo, and address negative backlash such as cyber attacks or cyberbullying against their campaign.

“No Cap” is the modern day way of asking if someone is lying or not. The Internet has opened up a world that can be positive to our students but can also be very misleading. This is relevant to Mathematics, especially in the real world, as graphs are an easy target for “doctoring” to provide a visual lie or misinterpretation of the truth.

This lesson introduces students to the attribute of singular or plural with the focus on nouns. They will practice categorizing different nouns in both a group and individual setting. Additionally, they will learn about If/Then statements and use them to predict the rules for making nouns singular or plural.

Students will create a storyboard to share their scientific data collected while experimenting with liquids & solids in water. They will work in pairs (pair programming) to map out a story that shares their results in a creative way. Students will then create a video using their storyboard. If accessible, students will experiment with stop motion video using an app called OSnap.

Students will research different careers in computing and non-computing fields. They will find their pay rates and salaries and correctly write them down in standard form as well as scientific notation. After their research, they will put the careers in order from least salary to highest and analyze this information. They will then verbalize what they have learned about different careers and skills necessary for them.

Students will utilize the rEnglishted skills of outlining and annotating a larger work to demonstrate how programmers will outline and document parts of code for easy navigation.

This lesson will serve as an introduction to the science and engineering practices that will be used heavily throughout life science (see standards below). Given a limited set of materials, the students will work as a class to determine which combination of design modifications will produce the farthest-flying paper airplane. Students will divide the large problem into a series of simple experiments and pool their data so that each group may draw a local conclusion based on their own data and a global conclusion based on the aggregated data. As a class, we will create an airplane with the combination of characteristics prescribed by the data and do one final test and conclusion together. This will serve as an analog for the sort of decomposition seen in computer science. We have our large, complex problem (which constellation of characteristics will yield the farthest-flying paper airplane), and each group will test a particular characteristic to determine what is optimal. We will pool our results and use them to create an ideal paper airplane.

During this lesson, students will learn about plagiarism and the importance of giving credit to sources when borrowing or changing ideas. In addition, students will research and practice paraphrasing important information that is found. As students begin working with different artifacts such as reference materials and other resources, they should understand that these sources were created by others. They should understand that authors, illustrators, and programmers are responsible for the creation of many sources of information that are used in the classroom and at home. Students will recognize the original creator of sources as they research and learn how to cite in order to avoid plagiarism, and give credit to the owner/author.

Students will review the purpose of using secure passwords to protect data. Students will compare physical measures of security (including locks) and digital measures (such as passwords) to protect information. Students will learn that strong passwords should include a mix of numbers, letters, and symbols. To practice representing practical situations with inequalities, students will translate given information into letters, inequality symbols, and numbers to create passwords. Students will also identify values that would make the inequality true.

Students will identify personal information and who it is appropriate to share with. We will discuss how passwords keep the information on our devices safe. Students will be told not to share their passwords or use other students’ passwords. Students will be told to log out of programs and devices when they are finished using them.

Grade K students will strengthen their understanding about past and present by using a graphic organizer to sequence the changes of a place or object over time. Students will engage in collaborative conversations at multiple times to compare and contrast the past and present, while also learning from their peers during these conversations. Students will explore a fiction text during a read aloud to strengthen their understanding of the past and the present. At the end of this lesson, students will use their knowledge of sequential order to complete and/or create a graphic organizer showing how houses have changed from the past to the present. Students will gain an understanding that computer scientists use graphic organizers to show their thoughts and ideas.

Students will be introduced to symbols as pictures that represent something. They will look at images of the patriotic symbols of the Commonwealth of Virginia and use that information to create a chart with the symbols and their names. Students will use the chart to make predictions about other symbols of Virginia and either draw or write a sentence predicting what other symbols of Virginia could be.

In this lesson, students will learn what a pattern is and will discuss where they are found in their daily lives. They will focus on the vocabulary words sequence, repeat, and patterns. They will then get the opportunity to practice making patterns with blocks and as they master simple patterns, they will increase the difficulty of patterns and continue practicing.

In this lesson, students will learn to identify and interpret picture graphs and make predictions from the data presented. They will practice organizing data into picture graphs. From these graphs, they will be able to answer questions in regards to the data and make predictions.

The students will learn about how early cultures developed in North America with emphasis on 5 American Indian tribes. They will participate in the Jigsaw strategy to analyze the data and be able to understand each tribe’s location and environment. Students will collaboratively create a Google Slidedeck on the tribes and sort resources used by them.

In this lesson, students will learn that computers follow a code in order to run programs or apps. The codes tell the computer exactly what it wants it to do. Information inputted into the computer by various sources must be converted, or changed, into a numeric value to store the information and perform operations. Once the function is completed, the numeric values must be converted to a form of output the user will understand. This output may be in the form of words, images, videos, or even sounds. Students will discover that they too follow codes when they complete different Mathematics tasks. Student will engage in solving multiplication problems in an unplugged activity as well as a plugged activity involving Pixel Art.

In almost everything we do we follow directions in order to complete a task. Following a set of step by step directions show our ability to create and read algorithms. Whether the directions are quick and easy to follow/ remember or involve more steps and require us to practice them for a period of time, almost everything has them. In this unplugged Computer Science, English lesson students will practice creating sequential events necessary to complete an algorithm that aligns to a simple task- making a pizza!

Students will take their newfound knowledge of plant life cycles and all of its stages and create a visual model using hands-on materials. Creating a visual model aids in the development of questions and explanations, to generate information that can be used to communicate ideas to others.

Students will learn about the functional parts of plants and how they help a plant to survive. Students will use block-based programming language to code a path from plant parts to their matching function.
