Students will use Lego WeDo kits or any other building kit such as k’nex, or geomags or craft materials to build the alligator or alligator mouth and then use a protractor to measure the angle of the mouth opening. Connecting math and the everyday world through the use of building an object to incorporate angle measurements.   As an extension of learning students will then attempt to vary the measurement by adjusting the bands or speed of the motor if using wedo or programmable build kits or non-robotic version by adjusting the hinge of the mouth. Students should attempt to alter the build in efforts to change the angle.

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.

In this lesson students will collect data on their cardiovascular system by measuring their heart rates at different moments (still, walking slowly, walking fast, jogging, running, jumping, doing something that makes them happy or stressed, etc). They will organize the collected data highlighting the relationships and emphasizing particular aspects of the data set to communicate different interpretations through a LiveGap Chart. They will write a paragraph stating their conclusions on how the cardiovascular system is affected by physical activity and emotions.

In this lesson, students will learn about the interdependence of plants and animals with their ecosystem, pollution in our oceans, as well as simulating an “ocean” cleanup by cleaning up recess area of trash. They will also learn about the top 10 plastic waste producing countries. Students will interpret that data to create a bar or line graph and answer questions based on the information. Students will also be learning about and building their own AI on code.org.

Students will generate data by formulating a question. Then, students will decide whether the survey question yields categorical data or numerical data. With the microbit, students will collect data using the step monitor project. Students will represent data on paper, or Google applications including their frequency tables, scaled bar graphs, or line plots. To apply the skills, students will create and answer questions about their collected data.
