Lessons modified due to Scantron Testing in Math and Science

9/5/2017 Objectives 24 Tuesday Title of Lesson: Computer Basics Objective: The students will identify the different operating systems, compare them and identify the different parts and functions of the computer.

Essential Questions: What makes your computer functions? Learning Targets: I can:

● Identify the parts of a computer (hardware, software, operating systems) ● Evaluate the functions of various motherboard components to determine their function and importance to a computer. Materials: Computer with internet access, Google Classroom and Google docs, GCFlearnfree.org tutorials 2-9 and quiz

Procedures/Activities: In this lesson, the student will be complete tutorials 2-9 using the internet (GCFLearning.com) as a reference tool in preparation of the lab activity (Cake Motherboard). At the end of the tutorials students will complete the computer basics quiz on the terms and components of a mother board. Bell Ringer: What is a motherboard? Discussion and share out findings.

Before: Computer Basics Overview-GCFLearning.org

During: Students to work through a computer module 2-9 reviewing vocabulary, Input & Output, What’s Inside A Computer, Storage After: Based on the GCF learn tutorials students will be able to identify hardware components of a computer and components of a Motherboard.

Assessment: submit quiz score for a grade a passing score of 80% or more.

Cake Motherboard 9/6/2017 Objectives 24 Wednesday

Title of Lesson: Cake Motherboard

Total time on Task: 2 class periods

Current Event: Designer shows off DIY robot/ Life without laptops? MS. BRONSON PERIOD: 2 & 4 WEEK OF: 9/5-8/2017 Bell Ringer: What is a Motherboard? Students will respond to the BR and share out with classmate then the entire class.

Before: Review Computer Basics GCF learn video on what is a motherboard.

During: Students will work in groups of to research the components of a motherboard. Students will create a group presentation displaying their findings. Provide log in instructions to locate directions for the project. Model how to access the Google slides share the presentation with group members. Ensure that all students have access to the presentation and review the sample slide to demonstrate what information should be included in their slide presentation. Students will work for the next 2 days at 25 minutes per class session on their group project.

After: Share out accomplishments, conflicts and resolutions.

Assessment: 1. Participation, 2. Submission of project

Bell Ringer: What are ways to share what you’ve learned in Computer Science Discoveries class this week?

Title of Lesson: Reflecting on learning

During: Student will be introduced to a variety of ways to share with the teacher what they have learned this week in Computer Science Discoveries. Students may create a Comic Strip that explains their learning process or may work with their class partner and create a video of their learning process. Teacher will model how to create a video reflection and a comic strip. Teacher model how to upload each activity in the Google classroom site. Students can use either option of their choice. Driving questions are as followed or may be student generated: 1. Your name, class period, computer science discoveries 2. What have you learned in computer science discoveries? 3. What was hard? What do you think would help you understand the problem-solving process? 4. Anything else you would like to share out. Upload comic strip to Google Classroom for a grade
