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.

Students will understand the importance of telling stories in order both verbally and with a graphic organizer.

This is an unplugged worksheet activity to walk students through the process of building strong, easy to remember, passwords.

This slideshow will help students to identify and use strong passwords, and explain why strong passwords should be used (e.g., protect name, address, and telephone number). It walks students through a process that can be used to create strong, easy to remember, passwords.

This is a PowerPoint that helps young students know how to identify a computer program and what to tell an adult so they can help them fix it. It is based on the Computer Science standard, 1.8: The student will identify, using accurate terminology, simple hardware and software problems that may occur during use.

Students will play the Game “Cheese Chase” where they learn about moving horizontally and vertically on a grid, which will be followed up by a variety of 40 gameboards where the students learn about naming cells in a spreadsheet. There are five activities where the students make bar graphs after interpreting data from a spreadsheet. 

This is a set of printable classroom posters to display terminology and pictures for students.

The pack includes:
Mouse
Printer
Touch screen
Tablet
Mobile Device
Desktop Computer
Keyboard
Laptop

Students will use Bee-bots to code the robots to a value matching their selected coin card. They’ll count the coins, create a code with arrow cards, and navigate the Bee-bot from the start box to the designated value. After reaching the target, they’ll explain their coding and counting choices. Then, they’ll return to start, allowing their partner to take a turn. This activity is also compatible with the Learning Resources Code and Go Mouse.

Introducing Data collection and Analysis:
This activity include a data collection sheet and questions to analyze the data.
The activity can be done as a whole group, small group, or by individual students.
Estimated time from start to finish is 30-45 minutes based on prior knowledge.

In this lesson students will collect items in nature. They will then count, graph, and analyze the data they collected. The lesson is set up to use a bar graph, but any graph can be used.

Infographic on the methods of communication that can be utilized through computing systems and networks.

This set of slides can be used to lead early elementary students in a conversation about how we communicate with others.

Students will explore computing parts and use oral language and content area vocabulary to describe items, then write a descriptive sentence to describe a technology problem.

This Quizlet Study Set contains Kindergarten and Grade 1 vocabulary (with pictures) from the "Computing Systems" strand of the Virginia Standards of Learning for Computer Science.

This document is intended to be used for small group discussion, personal or partner matching or memory game, and review of previously taught components.
Included are 8 picture and label cards containing desktop computer, laptop, tablet, mouse, keyboard, mobile devices, printer, and touch screen.

This exit slip should be used after teaching computing systems vocabulary to check for student understanding of concepts covered. 

This slides presentation has a short video about the 4 things that all computing devices have in common and then has picture examples of Input and output devices. It also has a slide of internal components we don't usually see.The final slide is a sorting activity that includes input and output devices.

Students and the teacher will work together to complete the Computing Systems Kahoot. Students will complete the Kahoot in a whole group setting, but will have their individual chromebooks to work from. The teacher will read the question and answers to each Kahoot, and students will select the correct choice on their individual chromebooks. As each question is completed have a whole group discussion about the correct answer choice.
