Students will explore real hardware materials and software to complete a t-chart/sort based on characteristics.
Students analyze a chart with the characteristics of the three colonial regions and determine a better way to visualize the information that shows the similarities and differences between the three.This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 2010256.Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation.
Time to demonstrate how the watershed works with this message in a bottle lesson. Students will have the opportunity to send a message in a bottle and observe how it travels down the watershed to the ocean!
This resource has a YouTube video link and a website link on how the German Enigma Machine worked to encrypt messages during World War II.
An illustrated guide on how to search for groups in #GoOpenVA, and then how to join an open group, or request to join a closed group.
Set students up for programming success by creating a BeeBot anchor chart!These editable instructions will help students identify their role as planner or driver and set clear expectations of how Bee-Bot is used in computer programming. Tips:Introduce Bee-Bot whole classMake sure students understand the importance of the clear (x) button to erase the previous codealways press clear first to signal a new code (like how a capital letter signals the start of a new sentence) Plan the program in developmentally appropriate steps (some students program one step at a time, while others can program to the end goal)Turn the Bee-Bot off and use it as a game piece to write successful algorithmsHave students write their plan, or algorithm, on a whiteboard instead of using the cardsThe Bee-Bot emulator is perfect for guided practice!
Prince William ITCs developed this hefty Wakelet to provide information to teachers about using Zoom for virtual learning. Some information is specific to Prince William's network but some can be used by any Zoomer.
Students will be introduced to the term algorithm while reading the story of Humpty Dumpty. Students will develop an algorithm or step by step sequence of instructions for putting Humpty Dumpty back together again.
Students will work in pairs/teams to complete jobs in order to program a Bee-Bot through a grid.
The students are not being efficient when they get materials or move around the classroom, so they are wasting learning time. Students will design a sequence of steps, or program, to move the student to their destination without using extra steps.
From Tazewell County comes this list of helpful video tutorials that can be used for Parents and Students, and for Teachers. The tutorials focus on specific tasks.
The students will learn what a digital citizen is and how to stay safe on the internet.
Students will love programming their "robot teacher" to maneuver around the classroom in this introductory coding lesson. Basic computer science concepts are defined and applied as students work together to plan, create, and test algorithms. Students will recognize that programmers are the brains behind machines and technologies.
Students will watch a teacher selected Apple advertisement/video and then identify the various Apple products mentioned in the ad. Students will then discuss how technology has changed the US marketplace and how the advertisement reflects the values of American culture. After discussing the current use of technology in the workplace, students will collaborate and hypothesize what the future of technology and American culture is based on current trends. Essential vocabulary: culture, technology, automation.
Students will love and enjoy this lesson based from the popular book, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Numeroff . Within this lesson, students learn the concept of sequencing and will practice this process as they practice arranging the events of the story in sequential order. Students will also practice their ability to retell a story.
This is a lesson for first grade to talk about how technology has changed our lives over the years. I have it related to the first settlers and the experience they may have had if they had today's technology. We also will discuss the technology we use today in our rooms vs what used to be used and how our behavior online can affect us even when people can't see us.
Students will learn about the different aspects of computing technology and how it has changed the world.
The students will identify how computing technologies have changed the world and how they are influenced by cultures by group activities, critical activities, problem solving skills and researching.
Students will gather information regarding the cultural and economic interactions between Europeans and American Indians during Westward Expansion. Students will work in groups to analyze several primary sources and create a visual representation depicting the Native vs. European perspectives of westward expansion.
The goal of lesson is the be a review activity for the following standards. Computer Science: 2.5 The student will compare and contrast a group of items based on the attributes or actions of each item, with or without a computing device.Mathematics: 2.13 The student will identify, describe, compare, and contrast plane and solid figures (circles/spheres, squares/cubes, and rectangles/rectangular prisms). After a whole group review students will create a digital digram or video comparing and contrasting plane and solid figures.
