This lesson combines ELA story elements and coding on a student-friendly BrainPOP Jr. Platform. Students can take a book they have read and use the BrainPOP Jr. platform for a variety of story map to demonstrate their comprehension of the material chosen.
Students will practice their use of dialogue by creating a thrilling story. They will use Scratch to create sprites and a setting that drives their story with an emphasis on writing proper dialogue.
In this professional development presentation, educators learn about Building Models (1 of the 7 components of Computational Thinking, according the Ignite My Future platform). This presentation can be used by individuals to learn about them, or used to present to others. The video is a recording of one of the sessions provided to teachers through a 7 week series of "CT Parties".Within this resource, you will find the presentation slides, a recording, a K-2 and 3-5 lesson to build models, and activities to support parents understanding and home use of the strategy. This lesson is part of the Virginia K-12 Computer Science Pipeline which is partly funded through a GO Virginia grant in partnership with Chesapeake Public Schools, Loudoun County Public Schools, and the Loudoun Education Foundation.
The students will work in small groups to design and create a prototype of a simple machine that could move a heavy box.. The machine has to be able to move a scale model of the heavy box.
