Type: Standard

Subject: Science

Grade: K2

Body of Knowledge: Computer Science - Communication Systems and Computing

This cluster includes the following benchmarks

Code	Description
SC.K2.CS-CS.1.1:	Define simulation and identify the concepts illustrated by a simple simulation (e.g., growth, human health, and the butterfly life cycle).
SC.K2.CS-CS.1.2:	Describe how models and simulations can be used to solve real-world issues in science and engineering.
SC.K2.CS-CS.1.3:	Describe how models represent a real-life system (e.g., globe or map).
SC.K2.CS-CS.1.4:	Solve questions individually and collaboratively using models.

Vetted resources educators can use to teach the concepts and skills in this topic.

Name	Description
Responsible or Irresponsible Citizens Care for the Environment- Lesson 3:	Students will use a Scratch model to identify ways responsible citizens act in an outdoor environment. This is lesson 3 of an integrated computer science and civics mini-unit. Students will be fully engaged while working with civics, computer science, and coding.
Responsible or Irresponsible Citizens in the School Community-Lesson 2:	Using a Scratch animation, students will gather information about the characteristics of a responsible citizen within the School Community. Students will use a model of a common area (such as a library) and coding to identify the effects of responsible or irresponsible citizens in a libraby. This is lesson two of a three-part integrated computer science and civics mini-unit.
Responsible or Irresponsible Citizens in the Classroom- Lesson 1:	Based on a Scratch animation, students will use a concept map to organize and sort the characteristics of responsible and irresponsible citizens. This lesson is part one of a three-part integrated computer science and civics mini-unit.
