Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Training Data and Machine Learning to Make Weather Predictions
This project is an integrated unit intended for 3rd grade but can be adapted for any grade level. Students will gain an understanding of the basics of AI, with a focus on machine learning. Students will then apply their knowledge as they collect data about the weather and use this data to train a machine.
ISTE:
1.1.d. Students understand the fundamental concepts of technology operations, demonstrate the ability to choose, use and troubleshoot current technologies and are able to transfer their knowledge to explore emerging technologies.
1.3.b. Students evaluate the accuracy, perspective, credibility and relevance of information, media, data or other resources.
1.3.c. Students curate information from digital resources using a variety of tools and methods to create collections of artifacts that demonstrate meaningful connections or conclusions.
1.3.d. Students build knowledge by actively exploring real-world issues and problems, developing ideas and theories and pursuing answers and solutions.
1.6.c. Students communicate complex ideas clearly and effectively by creating or using a variety of digital objects such as visualizations, models or simulations.
1.4.c. Students develop, test and refine prototypes as part of a cyclical design process.
1.5.b. Students collect data or identify relevant data sets, use digital tools to analyze them, and represent data in various ways to facilitate problem-solving and decision-making.
1.7.c. Students contribute constructively to project teams, assuming various roles and responsibilities to work effectively toward a common goal.
Science:
3-ESS2-1. Represent data in tables and graphical displays to describe typical weather conditions expected during a particular season.
Math:
3.MD.B.3. Draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several categories. Solve one- and two-step "how many more" and "how many less" problems using the information presented in scaled bar graphs.
