This is a performance task where students explore CS concepts, pseudocode, and flowcharts through the lens of order of operations on day 1 and design a math homework helper app on day 2.

Students will program a Sphero robot to travel around the exterior of a convex polygon. Students will then use the information in their code to determine the sum of the interior angles in a convex polygon.

Students will program a Sphero robot to travel around the exterior of a convex polygon. Students will then use the information in their code to determine the sum of the interior angles in a convex polygon.

Students will code a robotic device to locate elements on the Periodic Table given a specific description of an element.

In this lesson, students will experience the force of friction as they use block-based coding to program a Sphero Bot through a maze made up of materials with varying amounts of friction.

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.  

Cross curricular lesson plan integrating Computer Science and Science Standards CS 8.1b, 8.2  Science PS. 1b

Students will program Sphero RVR+ robots to explore a mock crime scene to determine if it is safe for humans to investigate without destroying evidence or running into objects. Students will apply their knowledge of physical evidence to determine what objects in the crime scene need to be avoided when sending the robot into the crime scene.
