Coding with Color
The Coding with Color kit teaches students about programming. They learn that, in addition to different spoken and written languages existing, there are many different programming languages being used. Programmers choose to learn specific programming languages based on what they will be creating. In this kit, students will become the programmer and learn Ozobot’s color language. They will create color codes to move an Ozobot and teach science concepts. These code will tell the robot how to dance and move down a catwalk, as well as how to engineer rescue plans.

Science of Light: Reaction, Refraction and Application
Students will gain a sophisticated understanding of the properties of light using manipulatives and apps in this STEAM kit, and apply that knowledge to bioluminescence and light properties in art. At the end of the unit, students will reverse engineer a project that incorporates light speed, reflection and refraction.

The Science of Sound
Students will understand that sound is a form of energy. Hands-on experiences in how sounds are produced and interpreted include a digital media focus and avenues like echolocation allow students to do a deep dive into these concepts. Each student will have assembled a rich digital portfolio at the end of the series of lessons.
Lessons:
Module 1: What Is Sound?
Module 2/3: How Does Sound Travel?
Module 4: Echolocation
Module 5: How Do You Perceive Sound?
Module 6: Volume and Pitch
