| Errors in Code: The Three Branches of US Government - Part 3 | Students will create a Scratch program about the three branches of government using work from previous lessons (Resources #208945 and #208958). Students will be required to include multiple Sprites, motion block, control block, looks block, conditional statement using the control block, sound block, and the use of an extension. This is the final lesson in a 3-part series that integrates civics with computer science. |
| So, You're Running for President - Lesson 1 | This is Part 1 of an intergrated civics and coding unit on bias, symbolism and propaganda. In this lesson, students will participate in a discussion about political communication and how they use bias, symbolism, and propaganda. They will also participate in a “put a finger down” activity and use logic to declare themselves fans of a rival school in this integrated lesson plan. |
| Gather Data For Distribution by Programming an App | This lesson allow students to gather, calculate, and plot data using both computer code and mathematical equations. In this lesson students will create a pedometer app to demonstrate the understanding of algorithms, components (such as buttons, textboxes, sensors, etc.), and If/Then statements. This lesson uses algebraic equations and random data to access the needed components to store data in a spreadsheet. |
| Data Sets Represented in Computers | This lesson shows how data can be represented by computers, in relation to everyday activities we may not be aware that we use computer. It gives an overview of graphing data by creating a histogram based on population data. Using the data collected, students will get a chance to hand write code to show what structure is needed for computers to collect, analyze and distribute such data. This lesson is lesson 1 of the Data Set and Deviation Statistics Unit and bridges statistical concepts of data collection, graphing and analysis with programming a computer using coding language while reinforcing foundational algebraic skills. |
| Teamwork & Technology | Students will use the case study, “Teamwork” to identify instances of teamwork that need improvement, as well as research and identify how technology can be used to aid in effective teamwork communication. |
