Nevada Standards Aligned: Beta - CSF Course F

In this context-setting lesson, students will discuss the role of computers and technology in their lives, focusing on how apps and tools give users choices about how to use them. Students will also explore apps similar to those they’ll create themselves later on.

In this skill-building lesson, students will work through a series of programming levels on the computer, finishing with an open-ended “free play” task where they can build whatever they like. Students will write programs and learn about the two concepts at the heart of Sprite Lab: sprites and behaviors.

In this skill-building lesson, students will work through a series of programming levels on the computer, finishing with an open-ended “free play” task where they can build whatever they like. Students will write programs that respond to timed events and user input.

Students will create an interactive Virtual Pet that looks and behaves how they wish in this mini-project lesson. Students will use Sprite Lab's "Costumes" tool to customize their pet's appearance. They will then use events, behaviors, and other concepts they have learned to bring their project to life.

In this skill-building/context-setting lesson, students will get the chance to practice content that they have learned up to this point, as well as getting a sneak peek at conditionals!

This skill-building lesson focuses on a new type of programming puzzle, featuring a farmer who needs to prepare her fields for planting crops.

In this skill-building lesson, students will use conditionals with functions to harvest crops in Harvester.

This exploratory lesson introduces the concept of binary which is how computers today store all sorts of information.

Students will pretend to flow through the internet while learning about connections, URLs, IP Addresses, and DNS in this exploratory lesson.

In this context-setting lesson, students will use fill-in-the-blank stories (similar to Mad Libs®) as a context for understanding how computers take and store input from a user, then use it later as a program runs.

In this skill-building lesson, students will get practice with variables in Sprite Lab.

Students will apply their new skills with variables to one of three open-ended mini-projects. Students will explore sample programs, create a plan for their own project, and program it from scratch.

In this exploratory lesson, students will learn about accessibility and the value of empathy through brainstorming and designing accessible solutions for hypothetical apps.

This exploratory lesson helps students understand the challenges and benefits of respecting ownership and copyright, particularly in digital environments.

This project lesson takes students through the process of designing, developing, and showcasing new projects!
