Students are learning about the digestive system of ruminants (cows, sheep, goats) but they are also learning to code Java script. Students use a program called Scratch Coding. This was invented by MIT- and it's an easy way for kids to learn how to code computer program languages.
Students will eventually animate how a digestive system works for a ruminant animal. They must (1) draw original artwork (2) research how a ruminant stomach works (3) write all materials (4) upload/download all data into a computer program and (5) code it.
If I haven't lost you by now- there's around 100+ steps your child needs to follow. I am AMAZED at their ability. This is a complicated, detailed, creation process- and these kids are producing work beyond my expectations. In my next newsletter- I will share the the computer programs with you. For now...here are some work-in progress pictures.
