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.

Review planets and teach students about safe/secure password usage with this Planet's Password Puzzle! Students will have to use clues to identify each planet and once they are in the right order students will be left with a top secret password to stop the evil hackers at the International Space Station! 

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.

Patterns are hidden everywhere, and can help us read because we can predict what might happen quickly. Students will orally tell a fictional story in a sequential manner. Students will draw illustrations to match their story, and include some type of patterning (numerical, AB, cumulative story, etc).These materials were created by CodeVA in partnership with George Mason University and were funded by the National Science Foundation under Grant Award #1837380

Students will code the Sphero Indi robots to build words that match a picture based on a phonics skill. Students will need to use the color codes to figure out what each code means to drive the car over the correct letters needed to spell the words.

This is a resource is a sorting activity for use with a lesson on Physical and Digital Security measures, SOL MSCSE.12.

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.

Students will identify the characters, setting, and sequential events of a story and draw a picture summary including the main points and eliminating extra details. Abstraction is the act of eliminating extra information, so students will try to include only the bare essentials to tell the story elements. The teacher will assist them in finding elements that are important to include and students will work in groups of 3 to tell the beginning, middle, and end in a pictorial representation.These materials were created by CodeVA in partnership with George Mason University and were funded by the National Science Foundation under Grant Award #1837380

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!

The students will learn about plagiarism, identify plagiarism, and the importance of giving credit for using others' work.

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.

Plate tectonics describes how the tectonic plates move due to thermal energy from the mantle. In this activity students will use an online simulation to create a fictional earth. Students will then use their model earth to simulate the various plate tectonic movements, highlighting the location of mountain and volcanic formation during the simulation. Students will then reflect on their simulation and model highlighting the weakness of their model.
