While exploring these concepts, studetns learn how to program their projects to use light sensors to determine how many pins have been knocked down. They flex their creative muscles by composing and coding music, as well as designing animations that indicate strikes and spares.]]> 2023-08-31 16:54:44 UTC https://padlet.com/tinkrworks/w11p0fom0tfmbxtm/wish/2680074867 k8steam https://padlet.com/tinkrworks/w11p0fom0tfmbxtm/wish/2680077675 Bowling, Pins, Lane, Strike, Spare, Gutter Ball, Push, Pull, Force, Circuit Board, Strength, Storng, Gentle, Distance, Light, Sensors, Programming, Bluetooth, Data, Datasheet, Opaque, Transparent, Translucent, Launcher, Texture, Smooth, Rough, Glide, Engineer, Musical Notes, Pitch, Octave, Scale, Tempo, Coding, LED, Display, Design, Collision, Calibration, Symbol.]]> 2023-08-31 16:57:05 UTC https://padlet.com/tinkrworks/w11p0fom0tfmbxtm/wish/2680077675 k8steam https://padlet.com/tinkrworks/w11p0fom0tfmbxtm/wish/2680078260 How can we use electronics and coding to help us understand strength and direction of forces?]]> 2023-08-31 16:57:38 UTC https://padlet.com/tinkrworks/w11p0fom0tfmbxtm/wish/2680078260 k8steam https://padlet.com/tinkrworks/w11p0fom0tfmbxtm/wish/2680082921 Computer Science Teaching Association Standards (CSTA)
Students will select and operate appropriate software to perform a variety of tasks, use appropriate computer science terminology, and create and follow algorithms.

Common Core ELA
Students will participate in collaborative discussions, use grade-appropriate vocabulary, and ask and answer questions.

Common Core Math
Students will use drawings or objects to represent addition facts. They will fluently add numbers to solve addition problems.

Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)
Students will plan and conduct an investigation to compare the effects of different strengths or different directions of pushes and pulls on the motion of an object.]]> 2023-08-31 17:01:34 UTC https://padlet.com/tinkrworks/w11p0fom0tfmbxtm/wish/2680082921 k8steam https://padlet.com/tinkrworks/w11p0fom0tfmbxtm/wish/2680084168 Preview our STEAM curriculum with the Pushes, Pulls, and Pins Lesson Sampler (Grades K-2).]]> 2023-08-31 17:02:42 UTC https://padlet.com/tinkrworks/w11p0fom0tfmbxtm/wish/2680084168
