Downloadable spreadsheet to assist ITRTs and Librarians in connecting the DLI SOL with 3-5 Computer Science SOL.

This PDF information sheet covers the 5 types of basic computer networks with review questions.Strand: Networking and the InterentSOL(s):  5.17 The student will compare and contrast the difference between a local network and a worldwide network. 

The student will apply social science skills to understand the factors that shaped Colonial America by describing colonial life in America from the perspectives of large landowners, farmers, artisans, merchants, women, free African Americans, indentured servants, and enslaved African Americans, by creating a computational artifact.

Students will determine what type of data is needed to answer a question and will use Google Sheets to find patterns. These data skills are needed in many career and academic fields. In addition, students will use input output tables in their daily lives through the use of vending machines, banking, and taking trips to new places. This Performance Task allows them to practice these skills through real-world scenerios. 

This performance task has the students working as bookkeepers for a P.P.E. Manufacturing Company to see how many P.P.E. they sold by adult and children sizes over a 2-3 month period of time and if their price of production vs cost for consumers to buy was enough that they made a profit or if they needed to make adjustments. This performance task has the students using PEMDAS to better understand how Algorithms and Programming are used in our everyday lives. 

Students will create a flowchart to demonstrate order of operations. They will use the flowchart to be able to solve a mathematical problem. 

In this performance task, students will have the opportunity to demonstrate the use of flowcharts in Google Draw and then create their own flowchart to show their understanding of the Order of Operations. 

Students will create a flowchart showing the evolution of a specific technology including failed attempts at advancement. This task includes research and understanding the iterative process. Easily differentiated. 

Applying computer science principals, students will explore inventions & innovations from the Age of Information, then through pattern recognition, compare and contrast the Age of Information with the Age of Industrialization. Students will present their research to peers. 

The lawmaking process, as described in the US Constitution, is essentially an alogorithm that allows an idea to become a law. In this lesson, students will analyze and evaluate the process for creating laws at the Federal level and create a flow chart that shows the lawmaking process in an alogoritmic sequence. 

Cross curricular lesson plan integrating Computer Science and Social Studies Standards CS 6.1-4 Social Science USI.5 e, USI6 a, b, c, d 

Students will read a passage about Sarah and Thomas and underline any use of technology in the passage. They will then write “AP” for appropriate or “IN” for inappropriate above any use of technology.5.9  The student will evaluate and solve problems that relate to inappropriate use of computing devices and networks.

This lesson explores the similarities between how a human being moves/walks and how a robot moves. This allows students to see the human body as a system, i.e., from the perspective of an engineer. It shows how movement results from (i) decision making, i.e., deciding to walk and move, and (ii) implementing the decision by conveying the decision to the muscle (human) or motor (robot).

This lesson plan explores Artificial Intelligence using Teachable Machine, a program that uses images and sounds to create machine models. 

BeeBots are an engaging, hands-on way to introduce sequencing, algorithms, programming and debugging to primary and elementary students. In this introductory activity, information will be presented in a clear and concise way so that students can collaborate to plan, create, and run a program. Students will correct through debugging as necessary. The attached resource includes vocabulary and tips for using BeeBot with students. 

This slideshow introduces students to counting in binary and contains a very short self-check to help gauge understanding.

In this lesson, students will create a binary art representation of their names. This will reinforce the concept of using numbers to represent non-numeric ideas.

This Edpuzzle assignment uses a clip from the YouTube video "Binary Numbers for Kids" by Socratica Kids to ask questions for understanding about binary numbers.

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.
