Description |
| 3 Branches of Government Anchor Chart & Scratch Module: Lesson 1 | This is part 1 of a 3 part integrated coding unit.
Students will interact with a Scratch program module about the 3 branches of government. They will examine the code and create an anchor chart on the branches of the government.
|
| Amendments That Changed America Part 1: Investigate | Students will watch a sample model created on Scratch and will discuss the amendments that changed America. The amendments discussed in this unit are 13, 14, 15, 19, 24, and 26. Discussion questions and assessment questions for students are included. This is lesson 1 of a 3 lesson Unit.
|
| Researching Landmark Supreme Court Cases: Lesson 3 of 3 | Students will create a public service announcement (PSA) using block coding in Scratch to raise awareness of a landmark Supreme Court case. Students will use feedback from a peer review exercise to revise their PSA. This is lesson three of a 3-part integrated computer science and civics mini-unit. |
| Landmark Supreme Court Cases: Lesson 2 of 3 | Students will apply landmark Supreme Court Case research to interact with a Scratch animation. Students will plan a Scratch public service announcement for Lesson 3. This is lesson 2 of a 3-part integrated computer science and civics unit.
|
| Civic Responsibility and Habitat Preservation | This is lesson 1 of a 3-part lesson unit.
Students will watch a sample public service announcement created on Scratch about ways to protect the endangered state saltwater reptile, the loggerhead sea turtle. Students will evaluate the civic duties of citizens to protect endangered species in Florida in this integrated lesson plan and discuss how well our citizens are currently fulfilling their civic responsibilities. |
| Atomic Structure Unit: Lesson 1 - Science of an Atom | This is lesson 1 of 3 in the Atomic Structure unit. This lesson helps students determine charge, structure and location of different components of an atom. This lesson also allows students to sketch the first 18 elements from the periodic table. |
| Radioactive Dating Lesson 3 - Modeling | Students will further explore the idea of radioactive dating through a drawing activity and creating a model simulation in Scratch. |
