Students will operate software, use technical terminology, follow algorithms, and develop programming plans.

Common Core ELA
Students will participate in collaborative discussions, use and acquire new grade-level vocabulary, recall information from text that is presented orally and through media, and describe connections between text.

Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)
Students will plan and carry out investigations, use mathematics and computational thinking, construct explanations, and discover design solutions.

Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)
Students will work collaboratively with others, listen actively to group discussions, engage in conversation by asking relevant questions, and use illustrations and texts to learn or clarify the meanings of words. They will recognize characteristics and structures of informational text and be able to retell and paraphrase texts.]]> 2023-08-31 16:27:45 UTC https://padlet.com/tinkrworks/f6gwkuu92rnp4660/wish/2680043052 k8steam https://padlet.com/tinkrworks/f6gwkuu92rnp4660/wish/2680048702 Computer Science Teaching Association Standards (CSTA)
Students will describe how internal and external parts of computing devices function to form a system; model how hardware and software work together; use data to highlight relationships, predict outcomes, and communicate; and create programs that include sequences, events, loops, and conditionals.

Common Core ELA
Students will participate in collaborative discussions, use and acquire new grade-level vocabulary, recall information from text that is presented orally and through media, and describe connections between text.

Common Core Math
Students will program their project's servo and measure the angles that it creates.

Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)
Students will plan and carry out investigations, use mathematics and computational thinking, and explore cause and effect relationships.

Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)
Students will work collaboratively with others, listen actively, and ask relevant questions to clarify information. They will evaluate details read to determine key ideas, and use context within and beyond a sentence to determine the meaning of unfamiliar words and multiple-meaning words. They will use newly acquired vocabulary as appropriate and make inferences and use evidence to support understanding.]]> 2023-08-31 16:32:37 UTC https://padlet.com/tinkrworks/f6gwkuu92rnp4660/wish/2680048702 k8steam https://padlet.com/tinkrworks/f6gwkuu92rnp4660/wish/2680052194 Computer Science Teaching Association Standards (CSTA)
Students will design projects that combine hardware and software components, create clearly named variables that represent data, design and develop programs that combine control structures, nested loops, and compound conditionals, and systematically test and refine programs.
