This module is designed to help students understand both the particle theory a little better and also get some experience programming.
This module can be given to students to show them how to code in Scratch and to reinforce the ideas of the Particle Theory of matter. No coding experience is necessary and no special equipment is needed other than this workbook and access to the internet.
No experience needed in programming. Tie together the idea that gravity accelerates and also learn the basics of coding. Scratch is a free online coding platform and I walk you through all the steps needed to make a simple program of an accelerating apple. Coding is a great way to introduce STEM into your classroom and this will help increase your confidence in its use.
What is provided?
1. A step-by-step how-to video showing how to code an apple accelerating downward in Scratch
2. A workbook
Using Power Supplies, Resistors, Voltage and Ammeters, students will first build series and parallel circuits and ultimately discover how the current and voltage behaves. The second half of the activity explores the idea that circuits can be treated as a resistor having an effective resistance value. Students are challenged to make this connection in the context of an engaging and hands-on activity.
