VR and NGSS Integration

Grade 1 students went on a virtual field trip using Google Expeditions to explore the concept of structures and functions.  We 'stopped' at various points on our Borneo virtual field trip to investigate different plants and animals.  While we observed them, we took note of structures and then thought about the function of that structure.   

Make a 10 with Coding

Grade 1 students learned to sequence precise instructions, use the language of programming, decompose problems, make a plan for a code, AND reinforce the math concept of making a 10 all at the same time....phew! What an exciting and engaging lesson for students.
