Today we will decompose large activities into a series of smaller events and arrange sequential events into their logical order.
Paper airplane algorithm!
You can use algorithms to help describe things that people do every day. In this activity, we will create an algorithm to help each other fold a paper airplane.
Directions: 1. Cut out the steps for making a paper airplane. 2. Choose the six correct steps from the nine total options. 3. Glue the six correct steps, in order, onto a separate piece of paper. 4. Trade the finished algorithm with another person AT YOUR TABLE and let them use it to make their plane! 5. Once the plane is constructed check it off with Mrs. Moore BEFORE taking flight!
Once you and your partner have finished AND have shown your work to Mrs. Moore, log on to your code.org studio ( http://studio.code.org/sections/JYZWJT) and complete Stage 2: Real life algorithms: paper planes - unplugged video, assessment 1 &2.
Do NOT continue to stage 3.
**If you finish early you may make a "Play Lab App."**
