Students will create a graph based on data they have collected using Google Forms.
In this lesson students work in collaborative groups to collect, represent, and interpret numerical data that they generate by using Sphero robots to knock down bowling pins!
Students will learn to crop images to help them visualize and identify physical features that children inherit from parents.
This is a multi-day culminating activity based on unit 1 of the 4th grade Wonders curriculum. Students will work individually, or in partners, to brainstorm products or professions that they may be interested in pursuing. They will create a visual (Google Slide or poster) as well as a fact card that outlines the steps of creating/pursuing the chosen product or profession. Then, students will create a Flipgrid that would persuade investors to invest in their product or company. A rubric accompanies this activity so teachers have guidelines on how to assess student work.
Students will show their knowledge of algorithms by creating different patterns that they find in the classroom.
In this lesson, students will use a bot (Beebot/Shero Indi, etc) to show their understanding of decoding and sight words.
In this lesson, students will model processes with algorithms by showing their favorite day in a storyboard.
Students will use bots (Sphero Indi or Beebots) to make a shape demonstrating not only their understanding of the attributes of shapes but of the technology required to apply it.
In this lesson, students will collect/interpret data and then create a graph to present.
Students will learn about spiders, and be able to name the different parts of the spiders. Students will learn how they get food, water and what they eat. Coding the “Spider” (mouse bot) to get the food to the web.
K-2 students will learn basic technology terms with a scavenger hunt and games!
In this lesson, students will learn the importance of giving credit to authors/illustrators by walking through texts and creating a product.
In this lesson students engineer ramps and race monster trucks. Students estimate and measure distances traveled and then organize and visually represent this data in a graph.
This is a multi-day culminating activity based on Wonders Unit 4 weeks 3-4. Students will use the Wonders materials provided in the Reading/Writing companion, as well as their Literature Anthology to identify and describe the moon phases. Partners will get a moon phase card. They will work together to program the robot to reach the appropriate moon phase to match the card on the map. For an optional extension activity, students can create an audio recording to describe the moon phase that they were assigned. Encourage students to utilize text for support of identification and description of moon phases.
This is a multi-day culminating activity based on unit 3 of the 4th grade Wonders curriculum. Students will work in groups to research a given landmark in Beaufort County, NC. After researching the landmark, they will record their data in the Google Slides presentation attached in the lesson for each landmark. After recording their research, students will use the DASH Robots to move throughout the Beaufort County, NC map, stopping at their destination. Groups will then use the DASH Robots to record audio of themselves describing the landmark. A rubric accompanies this activity so teachers have guidelines on how to assess student work.
Students will research an invention that had an impact on North Carolina's economic growth. They will use the Tinkercad website to recreate the invention.
The focus of the lesson is showing how information is broken into smaller pieces and transmitted through the internet through the use of vocabulary building skills, using prefixes and base words to build and break apart multisyllabic words.
The lesson will focus on the importance of understanding technical procedures from a text and following procedures in a specific sequence.
Students will read as a whole class or small group Project Mulberry by Linda Sue Park in conjunction with Wonders Unit 5 (4th grade). Teachers will assign the google slides to each individual as a reading comprehension completion activity. Students can use these slides as a springboard for book discussions. Technology enhanced culminating activities are included in google slides 10-12 for transfer of knowledge at the end of the novel study.
Students Share Their Reading Through A Short Movie! Integrates plot structure, main ideas and summarizing.
Much better than a written report!
