In media, we could research windmills, water turbines, etc. online. Then, students could build one with the pattern blocks. Then, write the algorithm and exchange with a team. The other team could try to replicate their design. I have engineering design process in my curriculum, so I think this would help me cover research, that and coding.]]> 2021-12-02 18:05:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kbenson19/ctideas/wish/1925786756 kbenson19 https://padlet.com/kbenson19/ctideas/wish/1925789770 The idea of algorithms could easily be used in any kind of "ordering" - SS timelines, for example.

Could adjust the lesson to any story that is age-appropriate and in which the characters have a "quest." If students select the most salient events from the story, then they would be practicing abstraction. ]]> 2021-12-02 18:08:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kbenson19/ctideas/wish/1925793031 kbenson19 https://padlet.com/kbenson19/ctideas/wish/1925793849 Have students order the process of pollinators getting nectar and spreading pollen. ]]> 2021-12-02 18:09:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kbenson19/ctideas/wish/1925793849 kbenson19 https://padlet.com/kbenson19/ctideas/wish/1925817784 Editing and Revising your story before publishing it. ]]> 2021-12-02 18:20:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kbenson19/ctideas/wish/1925817784 https://padlet.com/kbenson19/ctideas/wish/1926144379 Have students write the steps to their favorite Tictok dance(s).
