This activity is designed to help students take the research they have complete on an animal and apply what they have learned to power the Ozobot through the animal habitat.
The purpose of this project is two-fold: first, to encourage students to make the reading of poetry a creative act; and, second, to help students appreciate particular literary devices in their functions as semaphores or interpretive signals. Those devices that are about the imagery of a poem (metaphor, simile, personification, description) can be thought of as magnifying glasses: we see most clearly that upon which the poet focuses our gaze. Similarly, those poetic devices that are about the sound of the poem (alliteration, consonance, enjambment, onomatopoeia, and repetition) can be thought of as volume buttons or amplifiers: we hear most clearly what the poet makes us listen to most attentively.
Each group will build a different building 2-level wing of the team's school in one day but can only use the materials provided to the team. Each wing must include several classrooms for drones to survey and land.
Students will discuss and create a scratch jr animation about the phases of the moon.
Creating a storyboard focused on the plot of a story.
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!
This lesson will incorporate the classic children's book Where the Wild Things Are, student research on wild animal environments, and green screen technology.
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.
In this lesson, students will collect/interpret data and then create a graph to present.
K-2 students will learn basic technology terms with a scavenger hunt and games!
A student team of engineers, design a way to transport water from Point A to Point B without wasting or spilling any water.
Chico has a friend who is stuck in a laundry shoot and uses a new tool to help his friend get free. Create a new tool using materials from a list provided and work within a budget constraint.
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 designed to be used as an assessment at the end of a unit on Polynomials. Studets are given requirements for the project but have the choice of using PowerPoint, Google Slides, Flipgrid, etc to represent their work.This was originally designed by Reed Bowman, Autumn Patterson, and Kori Elliott
Students Share Their Reading Through A Short Movie! Integrates plot structure, main ideas and summarizing.
Much better than a written report!
In this lesson, students will be determining the central idea of a text about the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. They will also examine how quotes help to develop a central idea. Next, they will be writing an objective summary. Students will then research information from NASA about becoming an astronaut, as well as quotes that support why someone should become an astronaut. Finally, students will plan and write an argumentative essay about why someone should apply to become an astronaut using claims, evidence, and commentary. To enhance this lesson with a digital focus, instead of the traditional essay format in the origial plan, students can be given the choice of several digital mediums to present their findings. This digital foucs allows for student choice, selection and/or creation of visuals to support student thinking and arguments, and customization of content for the stuent's specific audience.
Students will plan and design a rocket that will travel the greatest distance. Students will consider what they know about rockets, energy, lengths and distances while using a budget to build their rockets.
Students will create a representation for the molecules in a solid, liquid, and a gas. They will then animate their representations to mimic the movement of the molecules inside of each type of matter.
