Overview:

Students abilities and knowledge are continued to be developed through proper typing technique and use of home row keys.  Using a website entitled Typing Club student continue the development of their typing skills with a focus on using home row keys rather than just pecking at the keyboard. Students will create a project targeted for this specific grade with the goal of supporting content being taught in the regular education class.

 

Project:

Students in groups will create symmetrical spider webs that contain Ozobot codes.  These webs will be made through a series of measurements for the sections and for the attaching strands. Students will measure angles between the intersection of the lines and will use string to measure all of the strands of the spider web.  These measurements will be totaled to get a total length of the spider web. The students will create a video using spider web and the explain what they did to get the angles and total distance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Integration:

Students will learn how to measure angles using protractors and then pratice on a handout and apply it to the spider web.  Students will also see how an educational toy/tool can be used to learn new things.
