Rating
0.0 stars

We all know that students can retain more knowledge when they have something concrete for it to stick to, why not actually build something that they can build their knowledge upon? Using the MakeDo kits and the stencils that come in this lesson. Let students take some cardboard that is just waiting to be recycled and upcycle it into the Rome Colosseum!!

Rating
0.0 stars

This lesson allows students to experience coding in a low stress, engaging environment while reinforcing thier learning about food webs and the interrelationships of the animals.  No prior coding experience is required for the teacher or the students.  Teachers and students will be walked through the steps of creating a cartoon demonstrating the transfer of energy in the food web.  They will learn to use sequencing, loops, variables, and opperations on those variables all while creating a fun moving cartoon.  Once students have learned the basic moves, they will be able to code further steps independently to add more interest to their cartoon.

PAGE ACSE Exploring Force and Energy of Moving Objects with Sphero
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

Students will use Spheros to explore the force and energy of moving objects.  This lesson is appropriate for students and teachers with little to no experience with coding. Students will evaluate a single line of programming that directs the Sphero to move and test to see if they correctly anticipated the results.  Students will bowl down "pins" by programming the Sphero. Students will experiment with changing variables and discuss how that changes the motion.
