Description |
| How Generative AI like ChatGPT Works | Students will explore Artificial Intelligence (AI) and how generative AI models use Large Language Models (LLMs) and Natural Language Processing NLP to generate outputs. This grades 4-5 lesson is an integrated Computer Science, ELA and Math lesson designed for application of math and ELA content knowledge while exploring and using computational thinking to understand how generative AI works, making cross-curricular connections to understand emerging technologies. |
| Using Machine Learning and Computational Thinking to Train an AI Model | Students will explore Artificial Intelligence (AI) and use computational thinking and Machine Learning (ML) to pretrain a model to recognize and identify objects, including geometric shapes and aircraft. They will used unplugged activities to mimic sorting and classification of the objects using their prior knowledge and then make connections to human learning and Machine Learning. Students will then problem solve and propose solutions using computational thinking to improve the ML model to better recognize the objects. This lesson is an integrated Computer Science, Science and Math lesson designed for students in grades 3-5 to apply math and science content knowledge while exploring and using computational thinking as they think like Computer Engineers and reflect on potential career paths. |
| Civic Duties and Responsibilities: Part 3 | In this integrated lesson, students will input text and audio in Scratch for a digital presentation to explain civic duties and responsibilities. Students will collaborate in teams to showcase major aspects of civic duties and responsibilities. This is lesson 3 of a 3 lesson series that integrates civics with computer science using the Scratch program. |
| Lesson 2: Volunteer Coding Plan! | In this integrated lesson plan (2 of 3), students will describe a plan using Scratch block coding working collaboratively with a partner. Students will describe details and ideas in the planning process. This is lesson 2 of a three-part integrated computer science and civics mini-unit. |
| Who Represents Us? Part 2 | Students will think of themselves as representatives of their schools and design a campaign for student body president using Scratch. This lesson follows research about state senators and representatives. This is the second lesson in a three-part integrated computer science and civics mini-unit. |
| Just Right Goldilocks’ Café: Temperature & Turbidity | This is lesson 3 of 3 in the Goldilocks’ Café Just Right unit. This lesson focuses on systematic investigation on getting a cup of coffee to be the “just right” temperature and turbidity level. Students will use both the temperature probe and turbidity sensor and code using ScratchX during their investigation. |
| Just Right Goldilocks’ Café: Turbidity | This is lesson 2 of 3 in the Just Right Goldilocks’ Café unit. This lesson focuses on systematic investigation on getting a cup of coffee to be the “just right” level of turbidity. Students will use turbidity sensors and code using ScratchX during their investigation. |
| Just Right Goldilocks’ Café: Temperature | This is lesson 1 of 3 in the Just Right Goldilocks’ Café unit. This lesson focuses on systematic investigation on getting a cup of coffee to be the “just right” temperature. Students will use temperature probes and code using ScratchX during their investigation.
