I can use computer science to visualize weather data!
Project Description: A PBL unit situating 3rd grade Computer Science Standards in data visualization. Students will explore computer science concepts and create a Scratch project to compare weather data in two different cities.
This project was designed in partnership with UCSD Create. Click the green button below to view the CS +Data website with lessons and resources. Please note the structure and flow of this unit differs from the other STEAM units.
