This is a lesson plan based on the Computer Science standard, 2.12, where students will create a model. The students will visit a website first to see how a digital model looks and then will create their own digital models of the solar system by using Google Jamboard. 

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.  During this lesson, students will investigate the effect of water on surfaces as well as on a structural model they create.  

This is a slideshow showing second graders how to model their own water cycle. 2.12 The student will create a model of a physical object or process in order to show relationships with or without a computing device (e.g., water cycle, butterfly life cycle, seasonal weather patterns).Models are used to represent a system (or parts of a system) under study, to aid in the development of questions and explanations, to generate data that can be used to make predictions, and to communicate ideas to others

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!
