In this lesson, students will learn how to read, write and represent their home phone numbers while also learning basic concepts about private, personal information and cyber security.

Students will review the importance of not sharing personal information online and what spending time online responsibility looks like. Students will review what bullying looks like and take this knowledge to further learn what cyberbullying is and how they can not take place in cyberbullying online and how they can go to a trusted adult for help if it is happening. To conclude the lesson, the students will sign a technology pledge swearing to be responsible and kind citizens online.

The students will use a specified rule to manipulate known values and use this to predict or determine the resulting numbers.Data will be provided which they need to analyze and draw valid conclusions nas well as make predictions for further activity . Alternatively, they will be provided with initial and final values for various situations and be required to predict the underlying rule. These concepts will be practiced through guided paper exercises, followed by the creation of small scratch programs

Grade K students will strengthen their understanding of sorting items based on attributes by learning about the seasons. Students will engage in collaborative conversations at multiple times to compare and contrast different forms of weather and types of clothing by their attributes. Students will gain an understanding about how objects and actions have attributes. Students will explore a realistic fiction text during a read aloud to strengthen their understanding of how climate can affect people and what they wear. At the end of this lesson, students will use their knowledge of sorting to sort different attributes of seasons in small groups. They will then further their understanding on an independent organizer. Students will gain an understanding that computer scientists sort items into different categories just like they were doing!

Students will learn how numeric values are used to represent non-numeric ideas in the computer while going over their vocabulary/word study words for the week. The teacher will give students their word study words and go over the feature for the week. Then the teacher will explain to students how they will use a secret code to represent their word study words. Students will learn the numbers that represent each letter in the alphabet in a computer. Then students will select one word from their list, and write it down vertically. Then the student will use the translator sheet to write the 0s and 1s for each letter. Once complete, the teacher will give the student strips of construction paper (blue for 0 and gray for 1). Students will make a chain link to represent their word and hang up outside the classroom.

In this unplugged lesson, students will learn about coding and how to analyze data. Students will read about Ruby learning a new “language” and how to translate a code into a “language.” Students will then create words using the code chart.

Students will learn why it is important to have a good password for websites and computers. They will create their own passwords.

Ever wonder why doors open when we enter the grocery store or what triggers those codes in car dashboards? All of these things are rEnglishted to sensors. In computer science, sensors detect external data usually in the form of motion, temperature, proximity, sound, and other forms and input the data into the computer system to perform a task. Sensors are everywhere–in our smartphones, touchscreens, Echo Dots, refrigerators, HVAC systems, smoke detectors, and security systems. In this lesson, students will learn about different types of sensors they see all around them and what task they perform. They will also read the biographical account of a boy who rescued his village from famine and drought by inventing something that worked similar to a sensor in The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind. As students read, they will also observe the “sensory language” used in the story in the form of figurative language (similes, metaphors, and personification). Students will then read passages of their own to identify the forms of figurative language found in passages to “help” the main character make his sensor work.

Students will be sequencing numbers from least to greatest and greatest to least. Students will work together to sequence an order of steps to get to the numbers around the classroom in order from least to greatest or greatest to least.

Students will begin the lesson with a review of shape attributes by participating in a Mathematics talk on which shape does not belong. The students will then be given an example of shapes sort by an attribute. Then, they are given time to identify and then discuss the attribute the shapes were sorted by and other attributes that they could have sorted by. Students will be given an opportunity to sort shapes by a chosen attribute independently.

Begins with an oral discussion using a familiar game with the students- “Simon Says.” Students will transfer the pattern of cue and action to a cue which indicates something other than the text, like computers do.. Think binary 1,0,1,1 having meaning other than the amount 1 or 0! This begins the learning of the concept of variable… one symbol or letter/word really having a different value as well.

There are many options for careers that utilize data collection and analysis. In this lesson, students will explore the pay rates of various computer and Mathematicsematical occupations. Acting as data analysts, students will use the annual mean wage of various data science careers to calculate the monthly, weekly, and daily rates, along with a 30 year projection of pay.

The students will play a game of Simon Says by pointing to the various parts of a computer. While playing the game they will also need to explain the purpose of the various parts and what it looks like if that part doesn’t work.

Students will use this lesson as a culminating activity in their simple & compound machines unit. After learning the characteristics of the six simple machines and how to distinguish between simple and compound machines, the students will then be able to sort pictures into 2 main categories (simple & compound) then into the 6 subcategories (lever, inclined plane, screw, pulley, wedge, wheel & axle). Students will then be able to understand how programmers create programs to do the same type of work.

Students will utilize critical thinking skills to investigate the impact of technology on Virginia's prosperity and role in the global economy. Through simulations, discussions, and research, students will gain and share understanding collaboratively.

The students will explore and expand their knowledge about water. They will investigate what happens to water when it is cooled down or heated up. After their investigation, the class will practice categorizing pictures of water as solids or liquids by sorting pictures on a pocket chart. Lastly, the students will independently do a Solid or Liquid attribute sort to demonstrate if they are able to categorize water as solids or liquids.

In this lesson, students will learn about ordinal positions and the importance of correct orders. The lesson will focus on helping students understand the concept of ordinal numbers and their application in everyday life.

In this lesson, students will practice sorting attributes based on physical characteristics and actions.

In this lesson students will learn the differences between plane and solid figures, as well as, the different attributes of polygons, quadrilaterals, and solid figures. Objects and actions have attributes; these attributes allow people to group items. Attributes may be physical properties, behaviors, or actions. Actions in computer science can be seen in step-by-step sequences (algorithms). Categorizing of attributes or actions relies on careful observation of patterns and similarities and differences. With this new knowledge, students will be able to sort shapes into a variety of groups and subsets. Throughout the lesson the students will have opportunities to share their thinking as they explore shapes and understand what makes each shape unique.

Students will work in groups of 3’s preferably to build a cup telephone to communicate across the span of the room to each other. However, to show how important communication is, students will not be permitted to talk to each other during the building process. After about 10 minutes, students will come together with the teacher to discuss how to improve this process. The teacher will rEnglishte this communication to how computer programming is conducted and how communication is vital in creating programs much like their telephones. Students will then work collaboratively to create their telephones by sending experts from each group to learn about their materials and construction methods. Students will then bring their information back to their group and share in order to create the most effective telephone they can. Students will also create a manual that explains the steps they took to create their telephone so that other groups could recreate their design if needed.
