π― Learning Objectives:
-Apply loops and nested loops in coding to accomplish tasks
-Effectively test and debug code (if needed)
-Foster a coding mindset
π« Guiding Ideas:
As part of the Animal Research Center (ARC), we aim to correct misinformation about animals. In the Gray Wolves lesson, we address the misunderstanding surrounding the gray wolf population, which has suffered due to fear and hunting. With progress encroaching on their habitat, we must help humans better understand wolves to reduce confrontations.
π Student Activities in Gray Wolves Lesson:
1οΈβ£ Secure the Chicken Coup
2οΈβ£ Moving the Sheep
3οΈβ£ Hazing
4οΈβ£ Clearing the area
π Performance Expectations:
Reinforce concepts learned by asking students:
1οΈβ£ What does the Agent detect block do?
2οΈβ£ What is a conditional?
3οΈβ£ What is it called when we repeat code over and over?
4οΈβ£ TRUE OR FALSE: The Agent can hold its own inventory.
π Formative Assessment:
Use these questions to gauge students' understanding of the lesson's concepts. A printable version is available in the educator's guide. Together, let's code with purpose and contribute to the well-being of gray wolves! πΊπ³
