Coders use a variety of blocks and customized sprites to create their own interactive diorama about a jungle. The purpose of this project is to reinforce the concept of parallelism to trigger two or more algorithms simultaneously.

This lesson will allow students to select and share what details are important on a topic.  Groups of students will research a topic and then discuss and determine the top 25 important things someone should know about the topic.

This eLesson by Dr. Felix Yerace will provide students with an opportunity to learn about the text of the Twenty-Fifth Amendment as well as its historical usage and potential need. It will ask them to consider why such an Amendment was deemed necessary and how it has been, and could be, used. It will also give students the opportunity to debate possible applications of the Twenty-Fifth Amendment.

These lesson plans and activities were developed by Janine Darragh, Gina Petrie, and Stan Pichinevskiy and were previously located on the Reaching for English app. Created for K-12 English teachers in Nicaragua, the materials may be used and adapted for any country's specific context and needs. 

Coders use a variety of blocks and sprites to create an interactive aquarium. The purpose of this project is to apply previously learned concepts in a new context (e.g., creating or modifying sprites, parallelism, events, etc.).

This lesson explores the most recent constitutional expansion of voting rights: extending them to people between 18 and 21 years of age. Students will read the 26th Amendment and learn about its history. They will view an NBC report from Nov. 5, 2008, that explains how important the youth vote was to the election of Barack Obama. Finally, they will examine the results of a recent study showing that young voters have very different concerns than older voters, and hypothesize about how young voters might affect elections in 2012 and beyond.

Coders use a variety of blocks in parallel to create simulations (e.g., dribbling a ball). The purpose of this short project is to apply previously learned understandings in order to simulate motion.

Coders learn how to use the “go to page” blocks to create a multi-page story about a rainy day. The purpose of this project is to introduce coders to the “go to page” blocks and to apply previous understandings across multiple pages.

Coders use a variety of blocks and sprites to create a multi-page story about a day as a pirate. The purpose of this project is to reinforce the “go to page” blocks and to apply previous understandings across multiple pages.

Coders use the repeat block to repeat a silly dance for Scratch Cat using motion blocks. The purpose of this project is to introduce young coders to repeating algorithmic sequences in ScratchJr.

This lesson unit is intended to help teachers assess how well students are able to visualize two-dimensional cross-sections of representations of three-dimensional objects. In particular, the lesson will help you identify and help students who have difficulties recognizing and drawing two-dimensional cross-sections at different points along a plane of a representation of a three-dimensional object.

This Demonstration illustrates the concept of rotating a 2D polygon. The rotation matrix is displayed for the current angle. The default polygon is a square that you can modify.

This activity is designed for a primary classroom (outdoors & indoors) investigation where students collect and investigate soil samples and describe the soils, looking for similarities and differences. Students develop a method of recording the data colleted and can present the information gathered.
