Students will create an artifact using computing systems to model the attributes and behaviors associated with a concept (e.g., day and night, animal life cycles, plant life cycles). Students are scientists (botanists, zoologists), who just found a new plant/animal in their chosen ecosystem. Their job is to introduce their new plant/animal to the scientific world! They will create a stop motion video to show their new plant/animal's life cycle.

Lesson Delivery: Students will collect weather data for a given city/town from a weather website to analyze and create a graph that displays the change in temperature over a time period (one or twq weeks). Useful Sites: Create a Graph: https://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createagraph/Default.aspx Weather Data: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/climate

Interpret graphs and data collection to create a bar/chart graph in Google Slides.

Students will use Google Drawings to create a food chain as a review activity.  Students will need to create a food chain based on an ecosystem taught in class and label it with the correct vocabulary. This will allow students to demonstrate their understanding of a food chain, while incorporating technology.

Create Digital Unique Kites while teaching about Ancient China’s important contributions to our world!!   

This lesson plan introduces SCRATCH based coding to help review the Solar System. Students will make a game for their peers to play. 

The website, "app.diagrams.net" is an outstanding site for school children to use for creating diagrams such as flowcharts, organizational charts, or sequencing diagrams.In computer science, websites like this are instrumental for artifact planning and creation which is found in multiple grades in the Algorithms and Programming and Data and Analysis strands.
