Intro to CS — Lesson 1.3: Algorithms and Instructions
Help students understand one of the most important foundations of computer science: algorithms. In this lesson, students learn what an algorithm is by writing clear, step-by-step instructions for real-world tasks and analyzing why precision and order matter when communicating with computers. Through hands-on examples and guided reasoning, students discover that computers follow instructions exactly and cannot “guess” intent. This lesson builds directly on Lesson 1.1 (What Is Computer Science

Peanut Butter and Jelly Algorithm / Sequencing Activity
Teach ALGORITHMS AND SEQUENCING. Students will "code" a set of instructions, the algorithm, to help a robot, yourself, make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Students will create their own algorithm for the robot to use and make a sandwich. They have two tries! Usually the first try is going to messy and fun as the teacher/robot tries to follow the steps. Once they learn from their mistakes (debugging) they can try again, usually with better results. SLIDES 1 - 5 ARE TEACHER INSTRUCTIONSSLIDES
