Open Sample Project

Module 4: Quiz

1. True or False: Forces can provide objects with energy.

True
False

2. Which of the following is NOT true?

A Push moves the object away from the body
A Pull moves the object towards the body
Force can cause the object to move
Throwing a ball is a type of Pull

3. Which of the following forces moves an object away from the body?

Push
Pull

4. Which of the following forces moves an object towards the body?

Push
Pull

5. What is true if someone increases the force of a Push?

The object will move towards the body
The object will move away from the body with greater speed
The object will move away from the body with less speed
The object will not move at all

6. True or False: Pushes and pulls are examples of forces that move objects.

True
False

Key stage 1

Pupils should be taught to:

understand what algorithms are, how they are implemented as programs on digital devices, and that programs execute by following precise and unambiguous instructions
create and debug simple programs
use logical reasoning to predict the behaviour of simple programs
use technology purposefully to create, organise, store, manipulate and retrieve digital content
use technology safely and respectfully, keeping personal information private; identify where to go for help and support when they have concerns about content or contact on the internet or other online technologies

Key stage 2

Pupils should be taught to:

design, write and debug programs that accomplish specific goals, including controlling or simulating physical systems; solve problems by decomposing them into smaller parts
use sequence, selection, and repetition in programs; work with variables and various forms of input and output
use logical reasoning to explain how some simple algorithms work and to detect and correct errors in algorithms and programs
understand computer networks, including the internet; how they can provide multiple services, such as the World Wide Web, and the opportunities they offer for communication and collaboration
use technology safely, respectfully and responsibly; recognise acceptable/unacceptable behaviour; identify a range of ways to report concerns about content and contact

Description

Once your students have completed at least five lessons of Programming 101 or equivalent coding experience, you can assign these NGSS-aligned projects to complement your teaching on topics in physics and chemistry. For example, if you’re teaching a lesson on magnetism, you can assign the “What Do Magnets Attract?” project. Your students will draw their own items and use coding and outside research to show which ones are magnetic.

With this collection of physical science projects, you can easily integrate coding and project-based learning into your curriculum. Each STEM lesson walks students through how to make a project about something they’re learning in school with step-by-step instructions. At each step, it encourages them to make their project unique and interesting, emphasizing that coding is a creative medium much like writing or drawing.

We’re constantly updating our STEM courses with new projects, so if there’s something you’d like us to add, send us a message at support@tynker.com.
