In this lesson, students will learn about how the internet connects to devices and networks all across the world. After understanding how they use internet to communicate with people locally and globally, students will discuss and analyze how the internet has transformed our understanding of DNA and what we use the internet for in regards to the human genome.

The student will recognize uppercase and lowercase letters of the alphabet and sort them according to attributes. Students will participate in a whole group sort and then break into small groups for a sorting activity. At the culmination of the activity, students will complete a Circle Map.

Students will collect data about their classmates to create a bar graph using Google products. Students will collect data based on a survey question, analyze the data, and input it into Google Sheets where they will then follow the correct steps to make a graph where they can analyze the data set and answer questions about the data.

In this unplugged lesson, students will expand their knowledge of algorithms to include variables. Students will understand the process of variables within the scientific practice. Students will define controlled, independent and dependent variables and identify them in various science lab scenarios.

TSW learn about what are appropriate and credible sites to use when researching information to use for projects and presentations. They will be able to create their own checklist OR use a precreated checklist to find articles/websites/books that are valid for their project.

The 2023 Super Bowl Champions are the Kansas City Chiefs. A sixty-nine person roster made up this team that represents a “rEnglishtion” in Mathematics. This roster represents different data types, including numeric and non-numeric data. Lots of VARIABLES are contained in the roster that can be used to represent “domain” and “range”. Students will find the domain and range of each player for given NUMERIC DATA and NON-NUMERIC DATA criteria and determine if the rEnglishtion is a function or not. Performing an operation on the values will determine if the data tables represent a function or not a function. This will allow the student to tie computer science vocabulary to Mathematics terminology and show how they are interrEnglishted.

Students will draw 3 cards from a deck of cards and verify if they create the sides of a right triangle based on the Pythagorean Theorem.(a squared + b squared = c squared). They will arrange the cards in ascending order to represent “a”, “b” and “c,” with “c” being the hypotenuse. This will allow the student to tie computer science vocabulary to Mathematics terminology and show how they are interrEnglishted.

Students will listen to the story The Very Hungry Caterpillar and be able to retell the story in sequential order. Students will use picture cards and a storyboard to sequence the story.

A google meet with a predetermined class will allow students to connect their location to another location in the state or even world. Students can share about similar topics or book/character study or celebration day.

This lesson is an extension off of the lesson CS 7.8 - Calling All Voters!. In the previous lesson, students used actual data to test a model and compare the results. In this lesson, they will take it a step further, and modify the model to be more accurate.

Students will explain ways in which innovations in communication have changed the ways in which people live, work, and interact. Students will explore how prevalent methods of communication are in our lives, and determine the methods they commonly use, both plugged and unplugged. Students will then become innovators and design improvements to a phone or computer that could improve people’s lives in the future.

The students will start the lesson by coming to the carpet. They will discuss ways they use computers and the importance of taking care of them. After that, they will watch a quick video about how to take care of a Chromebook and then make a class list of rules to follow when using the computer. The students will then go back to their seats and color a book of computer rules. Once they finish and the teacher is assembling the book for each child, the student will name at least 2 ways to take care of a computer.

As students learn about the Westward Expansion of the United States, they will work independently to create an algorithm that sequences the land acquisitions and shows the impact on the United States political map. Utilizing class notes about Westward Expansion, students will create a visual timeline in Scratch for the acquisition of land between 1801 and 1861 and then share that with others. Students will use algorithms to program a sequence to show movement.

In this lesson, students will brainstorm ideas of what they can turn a box or item into based on the story read by the teacher. Students will then create a bubble map of their ideas and choose their favorite one. Students will draw step-by-step pictures (sequencing) of what they do to turn their item into their final creative project.

Data Science and Computer Science are growing fields. Students will have access to jobs that do not currently exist. In this lesson, students will research various careers in data science and computer science and collect both quantitative and categorical data rEnglishted to each job. Students will collect, analyze, and display data in an effort to learn and inform others of the current job opportunities that involve the internet. CODAP or a similar graphing utility will be the tool used to help students analyze and display the information.

What goes in, must come out! Sounds interesting, right? In this lesson, students will learn about input/output tables as well as the basic understanding of how a computer takes in information and processes it. Throughout the lesson, students will use a “Function Machine” to input data and see the output. They will use this information to determine the rule used in the input/output table.

Email is a type of electronic communication. Students will explore how mail and email are similar and different. Students will learn about email addresses, create email addresses and discuss how certain people would use emails to communicate. There will be an opportunity to discuss what to share and not share as well as to be kind when communicating.

With the growing usage of social media by younger audiences, cyberbullying becomes an increased risk. While social media users may be respectful in a face-to-face conversation, online communication offers anonymity that can lead to intimidation and inappropriate online behavior by those using the different platforms. In this lesson, students will evaluate various media messages about cyberbullying and netiquette to determine what makes an effective media message while identifying characteristics of cyberbullying and appropriate internet practices. As an extension, students can apply their learning by creating an effective media message that informs their school about safe internet use and cyberbullying. *To help with pacing, the Cyberbullying and Netiquette portion of this lesson may be able to be taught during a Guidance Time.

In computer programming, algorithms are sets of instructions. Algorithms ‘tell’ the computer how to process input and what, if any, output to produce. An example of an algorithm you have seen in Mathematics class is the ‘function machine’.

Local networks work together to allow different people to share resources throughout a house, business or school. When those networks are connected to other local networks within businesses, government agencies, educational institutions, and individuals around the world, it creates a worldwide network. Both local and worldwide networks have some similarities and differences. In this lesson, students will read an informational article about beehives to compare and contrast the roles of those bees within the beehive and the roles of those bees outside of the hive. Essentially, the bees have their own local and worldwide networks. Students will then compare and contrast local and worldwide networks in order to explain how networks and beehives are very similar.
