Events in computer science are the triggers for making action happen, like selecting the play button on any screen. Events in Scratch are represented by the yellow codes including: when flag clicked, when sprite clicked, when key pressed and broadcast. Broadcasting is the most advanced event in Scratch and helps with interactions between sprites like pacing their conversations or changing levels.

Events in computer science are the triggers for making action happen, like selecting the play button on any screen. Events in Scratch Jr. are represented by the yellow codes including: the green flag, clicking on a character, bump code and envelopes. The envelopes are the most advanced concept in Scratch Jr. and help with scene transitions and interactions between characters like pacing their conversations.

Students will be able to explore the water cycle, by getting hands-on experience making the water cycle !  Using the examples, the students will be able to use various materials to practice creating a water cycle.  Dive into water cycles and allow your students access to expand their knowledge using creativity!

Mixing Science and Computer Science has never been easier! In this lesson you will use Root Robots for Computer science using 5.7 and 5.8 computing systems.Students will explore troubleshooting with technology while exploring force and motion with the Robots. In this all inclusive lesson students will use the Scientific Method to experiment with Root Bots with force and motion. Students will graph results, create a hypothesis, proceedure lists, research with they know about force and motion, and them create a conclusion all while exploring force and motion and computer science trouble shooting.  

Students will be able to explore the different continents by correctly locating them through various materials!  Using the medicine ball, puzzle globe, and 3d doodler pens, students will engage in an exciting activity that helps them understand the location of the different continents.  Dive into the different continents and allow your students access to expand their knowledge using creativity! 

The goal of this activity is to solidify students' understanding of functions: Input/Independent Variable/Domain → Output/Dependent Variable/Range in math and relate that to functions in CS.

Students will be able to retell a fairy tale by coding a path using story event pictures. Students will be able to translate an algorithm into a program.
