Students are introduced to programming and examine storytelling elements in the context of telenovelas, Spanish language soap operas. Using acting, scripts, and programming students compare elements of acting to Scratch and examine the telenovela script to identify where elements exist within the Scratch programming scripts.

Students explore place value using a programming microworld. Using repeat loops, students explore expanded notation and rounding and adjusting through a series of guided explorations. Source: EDC Math + Programming
Students collaborate to develop a 3D model of a house using a 3D modeling program. Using decomposition and abstraction, students identify the client needs and the parts of their 3D model. Source: K-8 Integrated CS CT Lessons
Students use computational thinking skills to understand systems such as how animals get energy, ecosystems, and how plants get the energy they need to grow. Students create animations in Scratch modeling the processes. Source: K-8 Integrated CS CT Lessons
