Want to introduce some basic coding and real life examples of the Scientific Method? This is the lesson for you. Using either the online program MakeCode, or by purchasing the Handheld Kitronik Arcades, the students will be performing an experiment while coding a maze game. No purchases required if students only use the online platform. A whole lesson ready to engage your students and use Computer Science and the Scientific Method!

Students will process the quality of data used in campaign ads by identifying the nature and uses of language and imagery to become aware of how candidates use words and images to influence viewer opinion and verifying information by fact checking and determining if information has been mischaracterized.

Students will learn about algorithms and programming at a basic level and use playdough and microbits to review information about the planets that they have learned.  Students will code using block coding and iterative design to debug their code.  Students will use data, lists, and arrays as well. Students will follow an outlined algorithm to correctly construct the planets to scale using rulers and play dough.
