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. In this lesson, students will create examples of gravitational potential and kinetic energy transformations using Scratch.

This will help students understand the difference between modeling and simulation. They are able to run a simulation program and see that over time it should get closer to the theorectical probabilty.

NASA eClips Real World: Food Security -- Monitoring Crops from SpaceVideo Description: Discover how NASA's Earth-observing satellites gather data to monitor food growth. Dr. Inbal Becker-Reshef describes how mathematics is used to interpret satellite data and describe vegetation and crop yield. Dr. Hannah Kerner shares how algorithms and models use NASA data to describe and predict food supply and food shortages. This work through NASA Harvest provides tools for farmers and governments to describe and predict food security worldwide. Video Length: 5:25.NASA eClipsTM is a suite of online student-centered, standards-based resources that support instruction by increasing STEM literacy in formal and nonformal settings. These free digital and downloadable resources inform and engage students through NASA-inspired, real-world connections.NASA eClips Real World segments (grades 6-8) connect classroom mathematics to 21st Century careers and innovations. They are designed for students to develop an appreciation for mathematics through real-world problem solving.

In this project, You will compare homemade applesauce and store bought applesauce. We’ll look at the cost, nutritional information and taste of each option. You’ll make your own applesauce, test different brands, and then use simple programming to analyze and visualize the data. By the end you will be able to decide which option is healthier, more affordable and tastier!

Have you ever thought about how we determine the likelihood of certain events happening? Computational models are mathematical representations of real-world phenomena, while simulations mimic real-world processes. In this lesson, we will discuss computational models and simulations, and then perform a simulation to determine if the mathematical probability of getting heads when we flip a coin matches what we find in real life.

The students will complete a mixture of transformations on paper and then watch and complete GeoGeobra simulations of transformations to identify patterns and relationships.

Are you looking for a new activity to do with types of conflict? Do you want to encourage your students to understand the importance of knowing the why behind the need for multiple times practicing a skill? Why not incorporate analyzing data into identifying the types of conflict being used in a story?
