C3.1 solve problems and create computational representations of mathematical situations by writing and executing code, including code that involves the analysis of data in order to inform and communicate decisions

C3.2 read and alter existing code involving the analysis of data in order to inform and communicate decisions, and describe how changes to the code affect the outcomes and the efficiency of the code

In this lesson students will understand the reasoning why we create animations and how these can work in the real world.  Students will create their own custom animation while later constructing an interactive thermometer using conditional statements.
