6th graders create digital videos to explain the earth's core and volcanoes.
6th graders create digital and 3D models of the Earth and Earth's core.
Science 7 students studied five hurricanes and how scientists locate the position of the hurricanes to create maps. Students then chose a hurricane and made coordinates to show how it moved during a five-day span. After entering each data point, a line would appear on the Snap! stage, showing the path of the hurricane for that day. Students set data points for all five days to complete the hurricane’s path.
Science 8 students use Snap coding to program an animation explaining symbiotic relationships. Play the video to see the animation!
8th Grade science students work with our partners at the Friday Institute in their study of epidemics. The unit starts with an “unplugged” activity where students interact with each other while wearing either healthy or sick emojis. Later, our teachers and the NCSU team guide students as they used block-based programming to simulate the interactions of healthy and infected agents and to track the results. To create a simulation, students program using conditional statements and loops, and then analyze data upon completion of their project.
