4.1 Input, Output & Variables Unplugged (ECS+Python)
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

In this activity, students will use a model of a computer, taking the form of a sort of board game, to explore writing programs that include input, output, variables, and arithmetic. Students will read, write, and debug pseudocode as they work on solving simple programming problems using manipulatives. This lesson is part of the ECS+Python lesson set, providing supplemental Python curricular material for the Exploring Computer Science curriculum.

4.2 Input, Output & Variables Coding Practice (ECS+Python)
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

"In this lesson, students will read and trace a “Hello World'' Python program to learn how to display simple output. Then, they will create an “Addition Calculator” to learn how to work with variables and arithmetic operators. At the end, students will modify and complete partially-written Python programs, applying their knowledge of variables and arithmetic operations. This lesson is part of CodeVA's ECS+Python lesson set, providing alternative units for the Exploring Computer Science curriculum covering basic Python coding concepts.

ACSE Region III- Patterns with Input/Output Tables
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

Students will determine what type of data is needed to answer a question and will use Google Sheets to find patterns. These data skills are needed in many career and academic fields. In addition, students will use input output tables in their daily lives through the use of vending machines, banking, and taking trips to new places. This Performance Task allows them to practice these skills through real-world scenerios.

ACSE Region III - Solar System Model Performance Task
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

Your task as an astronomer is to model the solar system using technology.  You and your crew are just one group that have been asked by NASA to chart the solar system in order to create a simulation model for future astronauts. After you have accomplished this, you will present your model to the Director of NASA. They have given you several requirements for the simulation. Your simulation should include a map of the solar system that shows the appropriate distance, location, size and relation to the sun amongst the eight planets. You and your team can use a variety of options to complete your simulation. These include Google Suite tools (such as Google Slides, Google Docs, Jamboard, or any equivalent tool such as Microsoft Office), Coding resources (Scratch.edu, tynker.edu) or 3D printing software (Tinkercad) to present. Your map should also include a short descriptive paragraph for each planet explaining its distance, location, size, and at least 3 facts about the planet. If creating a video, you will still want to include descriptions for the planets as well as the three facts.  Presentation to “NASA Directors” must answer the question: how does this simulation/model help future scientists?

Agricultural Cyberbiosecurity: Cyberbiosecurity
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

With digitization, we see biosecurity, cybersecurity, and physical security begin to overlap. This overlap started a new discipline, cyberbiosecurity. This resource is part of the Agricultural Cyberbiosecurity Education Resource Collection that contains resources for formal and non-formal agricultural educators working with middle school aged youth. Published as Open Educational Resources, all resources are provided in durable (pdf) and customizable (MS Word) formats. They are hosted on  GoOpenVA in a unique resource collection, Ag Cybersecurity Virginia Tech, at https://goopenva.org/curated-collections/143 and on on Virginia Tech’s stable repository, VTechWorks at https://doi.org/10.21061/cyberbiosecurity

CS Unplugged: LED Cards
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

When you make an LED card, you are bringing together the fundamentals of electronics that make up computing devices - power (battery), input (using a pressure sensor to open or close a circuit) and output (LED light). It’s also a great way to reinforce the binary states of on and off that are at the core of how all computing devices work.
