Combine storytelling, probability, and coding together in this engaging project with endless possibilities!
CCSS ELA K-8 Reading
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.CCRA.R.5
Analyze the structure of texts, including how specific sentences, paragraphs, and larger portions of the text (e.g., a section, chapter, scene, or stanza) relate to each other and the whole.
RL.2.5
Describe the overall structure of a story, including describing how the beginning introduces the story and the ending concludes the action.
CSTA K-12 CS Standards
1A-DA-06
Collect and present the same data in various visual formats.
1A-DA-07
Identify and describe patterns in data visualizations, such as charts or graphs, to make predictions.
1A-AP-08
Model daily processes by creating and following algorithms (sets of step-by-step instructions) to complete tasks.
1B-AP-12
Modify, remix, or incorporate portions of an existing program into one's own work, to develop something new or add more advanced features.
1B-AP-15
Test and debug (identify and fix errors) a program or algorithm to ensure it runs as intended.
2-AP-10
Use flowcharts and/or pseudocode to address complex problems as algorithms.
2-AP-11
Create clearly named variables that represent different data types and perform operations on their values.
2-AP-15
Seek and incorporate feedback from team members and users to refine a solution that meets user needs.
2-AP-16
Incorporate existing code, media, and libraries into original programs, and give attribution.
2-AP-17
Systematically test and refine programs using a range of test cases.
2-AP-18
Distribute tasks and maintain a project timeline when collaboratively developing computational artifacts.
Next Generation Science Standards
K-2-ETS1-1
Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.
K-2-ETS1-2
Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem.
3-5--ETS1-1
Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.
3-5--ETS1-2
Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
MS-ETS1-1
Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into account relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural environment that may limit possible solutions.
MS-ETS1-2
Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
CCSS ELA K-8 Writing
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.CCRA.W.1
Write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or texts using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence.
