ACSE Fredericksburg City--Fifth Grade--Open and Closed Circuits Lesson
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

Students will engage in a discussion of open and closed circuits and the concepts of algorithms using sequencing and conditional statements. Students will be presented with a question to discuss and apply prior knowledge. Students will then be given information about open and closed circuits, using diagrams and explanations of key terms. Once the students have observed a demonstration of a simple circuit, they will have a discussion as to which circuit worked, open or closed, and why. Students will be asked to predict what might happen if more components were added. Students will then work collaboratively to construct a closed and open circuit using a diagram to show the step-by-step algorithms to create each circuit.The lesson can be found at this LINK.

ACSE Fredericksburg City--Fifth Grade--Rock Cycle Lesson
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

Students will engage in a discussion about how rocks are formed and the rock cycle. They will then draw the rock cycle and when given various situations, give the steps necessary for a rock to go from one stage to another, following the paths in between. Students will have the opportunity to use a “character” to help them follow the paths without skipping steps. The students will then record the steps followed on a record sheet.The lesson can be accessed on this LINK.

Multi-Step Word Problem Algorithms Unit with Scratch
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

Students will become familiar with computer science vocabulary words.  They will create a program in Scratch that uses nested conditional statements.  They will be given multi step word problems to guide the nested conditional nature of their program.  Students will be responsible for creating, testing, and debugging the code in Scratch. They will engage with other students’ finished programs to review the math skill.
