Students will explore how to classify and sort animals by different characteristics and attributes like their body coverings.  Using an animal template provided and fun craft supplies like pasta shells, textured fabric, sequins, and cotton balls, students will create their own animal body covering models.  This engaging hands-on learning experience mixes computer science, art, and life science all in one lesson to get your students excited about learning!

This lesson allows students to experience coding in a low stress, engaging environment while reinforcing thier learning about food webs and the interrelationships of the animals.  No prior coding experience is required for the teacher or the students.  Teachers and students will be walked through the steps of creating a cartoon demonstrating the transfer of energy in the food web.  They will learn to use sequencing, loops, variables, and opperations on those variables all while creating a fun moving cartoon.  Once students have learned the basic moves, they will be able to code further steps independently to add more interest to their cartoon.

Students will be able to explore the different ecosystems by constructing their very own ecosystem!  Using the Makedo kit, the students will be able to use cardboard that is laying around to create their very own design.  Dive into ecosystems and allow your students access to expand their knowledge using creativity!

Watch and explore the different ways the mouse can move (back- and- forth, circular, straight, spinning), try to remember the password pattern to guess the correct password. The stronger and more difficult the code, the harder the password pattern will be to crack. Create a strong pattern so your classmates don’t crack your code!

Using microbits have students write a simple code and then debug a similar one.  Then compare that to  editing their writing.

Create Digital Unique Kites while teaching about Ancient China’s important contributions to our world!!   

Students will be creating models of the houses of the three American Indian Cultures. Using the Templates provided and the 3Doodlers you will be creating the shelter and other characteristics of the cultures. The 3Doodlers start+ are for ages as low as 6.  What better way to remember the types of houses than making them!

Create a Water Cycle with your students while also teaching them about Internet Safety and Digital Citizenship!

In this lesson, students will have a brief introduction to creating an app in Code.org’s App Lab.  They will then create an app that will determine if three given lengths can form a triangle or not.

Let’s stay safe online!  Be a danger ranger and protect yourself from online and offline predators!

The student will complete equation word problems with them all having the theme of Cybersecruity. Then as a class discuss Cybersecruity.

This lesson will help teach students the importance of internet safety and ways that students can stay safe online.  The students will also play various games to learn this concept.  The students will play a game with magnets that teaches the concept of pushing/pulling (attract/repel) while learning internet safety.  

The VR experience in this project sounds like a great way to offer a more interactive learning environment. It's exciting to think about how teachers can use this technology (YouTube 360) to enhance their teaching methods and help students learn in new and exciting ways. The hands-on experience will certainly help teachers better understand the features and functionalities of VR, and how it can be effectively used in the classroom.

Overview of the activity:After the lesson has been taught, discuss with the class if their friend was able to crack the code, or if it was secure enough and how could you make it more secure?

Explore the world of cybersecurity and personal responsibility with this hands on lock and key adventure!

Create a fake social media page for a teacher in Spanish that students will then learn how to protect their information through playing an online simulation game.

Do you know what is safe to share online?  Let’s learn about cybersecurity in a fun scientific process that is just right for kindergarten students.

How are predators in the WILD and ONLINE similar? Check out this lesson that incorporates Cybersecurity and pack animals! You will learn ways on how both the animals and you can be protected from danger!

This lesson incorporates computer science with an interesting enrichment topic for Environmental Science II, Astronomy - Dark Matter.  Students will be able to visualize WHY scientists believe that 85% of matter in our universe is not the same as what we are made of.  Using simple orbital speed kits, your class can combine their data and analyze it to see what happens to orbital speed with increasing distance from the barycenter of a galaxy.  They can add mass to the center to represent dark matter and see how that increases the orbital speed - just like what Vera Rubin discovered in the 1960s.
