Option 1: Come up with an idea, which relates to kids' lives, to collect data from. Graph the data and ask questions that require effortful thinking from students based on the graph.  

Option 2: Ask a problem that students can relate to e.x. favorite ice-cream. Decide how much ice-cream we should order for the entire school, based on data collected from class. ]]> 2022-02-26 02:02:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mcrgf3/e1hbp8zsp362our5/wish/2067190749 mcrgf3 https://padlet.com/mcrgf3/e1hbp8zsp362our5/wish/2067194313 2022-02-26 02:08:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mcrgf3/e1hbp8zsp362our5/wish/2067194313 mcrgf3 https://padlet.com/mcrgf3/e1hbp8zsp362our5/wish/2067196882 Assist students with computational thinking through the process of coding.

Place dollar foot in front of them. Ask them to pick up dollar without moving feet or knees. Next ask another to put heels, hips, and shoulders against wall. Ask them to jump without leaning forward. Lastly, ask another to turn their right side toward the wall and place their right foot, right shoulder, and right cheek against the wall. Ask them to lift their left foot off the ground. When they can't do this explain, the need to shift their center of gravity away from the base of support, which will have them either fall, or their sense of balance won't let them. ]]> 2022-04-03 19:23:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mcrgf3/e1hbp8zsp362our5/wish/2127441976 mcrgf3 https://padlet.com/mcrgf3/e1hbp8zsp362our5/wish/2146432968 Put together a story about a plant or animal.
