Bike Safety RIGHT or WRONG? Applying Computational Thinking in Kindergarten: Part 3

Let’s take a bike ride! In this integrated lesson plan, students will work together as a class to generate a simple algorithm about the steps to safe bicycle riding. Next, students will watch the attached PowerPoint to identify bicycle riding laws and then discuss what might happen if the bike rider is not riding responsibly. Finally, using the Scratch game “Joy Rides a Bike”, students will demonstrate their knowledge of the parts of a bicycle, and how to dress sensibly for riding. This is lesson 3 of a 3-part unit on rules and laws integrated with computational thinking.
