This video is part of the Learn and Grow with WHRO TV series. Watch Carolyn Harris teach about sorting shapes according to one or two attributes.

Students will categorize attribute blocks based on their color, thickness and/or size. Optionally, connections to categorizing will be related to robots (e.g. looks, motions, sounds) and coding.

Overview of the activity:The students will sort and graph the items given to them and discuss the way they are sorted. They will then complete a graph of the items, and then we will construct and build with the items and explain what they build and how tall it is.

Students will survey how paper is being used and conserved in their school.  They will create a conservation plan, communicate the plan to the school, and then survey to determine the efficiency of their plan.

The student will learn the input and output of a computer and how it is used in the real world.  The student be given a play computer to explore and talk about what types of job computers are needed for and how the information gets into the computer. 

Students will explore how to classify and sort animals by different characteristics and attributes like their body coverings.  Using an animal template provided and fun craft supplies like pasta shells, textured fabric, sequins, and cotton balls, students will create their own animal body covering models.  This engaging hands-on learning experience mixes computer science, art, and life science all in one lesson to get your students excited about learning!

This engaging lesson offers students multiple opportunities to collect data and create their own charts and graphs as they rotate through fun and exciting stations that incorporate computer science, math, science, and visual art.

Students will dive into the different components of computing systems, as we collect data from our homes to find out what computing systems are most commonly used in our families. Students will practice identifying inputs and output computer systems. 

Science Instructional Plans (SIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Science Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the content and the scientific and engineering practices found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom
