Computer Science Teachers Association K-12 CS Standards

• Computers and Communication Devices 1:3-1: Use standard input and output devices to successfully operate computers and related technologies.

• Computational Thinking 1:3-4: Recognize that software is created to control computer operations.

• Computational Thinking 1:3-1: Use technology resources (e.g. puzzles, logical thinking programs) to solve age-appropriate problems.

• Computational Thinking 1:3-2: Use writing tools, digital cameras, and drawing tools to illustrate thoughts, ideas, and stories in a step by step manner

• Computing Practice and Programming 1:3-4: Construct a set of statements to be acted out to accomplish a simple task.

• Computing Practice and Programming 1:3-3: Create developmentally appropriate multimedia products with support from teachers, family members, or student partners.

• Collaboration 1:3-2: Work cooperatively and collaboratively with peers, teachers, and others using technology.

 

Next Generation Science Standards

• K-2-ETS1-1. Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.

• K-2-ETS1-2. Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem.

• K-2-ETS1-3. Analyze data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each performs.

• ETS1.A Defining and Delimiting Engineering Problems

  • Asking questions, making observations, and gathering information are helpful in thinking about problems.

  • Before beginning to design a solution, it is important to clearly understand the problem.

• ETS1.B Developing Possible Solutions – Designs can be conveyed through sketches, drawings, or physical models. These representations are useful in communicating ideas from a problem’s solutions to other people.

• ETS1.C Optimizing the Design Solution – Because there is always more than one possible solution to a problem, it is useful to compare and test designs.

• Science and Engineering Practice – Asking Questions and Defining Problems – Asking questions and defining problems in K-2 builds on prior experiences and progresses to simple descriptive questions that can be tested.

• Science and Engineering Practice – Developing and Using Models – Modeling in K-2 builds on prior experiences and progresses to include using and developing models (i.e., diagram, drawing, physical replica, diorama, dramatization, or storyboard) that represent concrete events or design solutions.

• Science and Engineering Practice – Using Mathematics and Computational Thinking – Mathematical and computational thinking in K-2 builds on prior experience and progresses to recognizing that mathematics can be used to describe the natural and designed world(s).

• W.1.3 Write narratives in which they recount two or more appropriately sequenced events, include some details regarding what happened, use temporal words to signal event order, and provide some sense of closure.

• W.1.6 With guidance and support from adults, use a variety of digital tools to produce and publish writing, including in collaboration with peers.

• SL.1.1 Participate in collaborative conversations with diverse partners about grade 1 topics and texts with peers and adults in small and larger groups.

  • SL.1.1.A Follow agreed-upon rules for discussions (e.g., listening to others with care, speaking one at a time about the topics and texts under discussion).

  • SL.1.1.B Build on others' talk in conversations by responding to the comments of others through multiple exchanges.

  • SL.1.1.C Ask questions to clear up any confusion about the topics and texts under discussion.

• SL.1.2 Ask and answer questions about key details in a text read aloud or information presented orally or through other media.

• SL.1.4 Describe people, places, things, and events with relevant details, expressing ideas and feelings clearly.

• SL.1.5 Add drawings or other visual displays to descriptions when appropriate to clarify ideas, thoughts, and feelings.
