✨ Teaching children about AI can be challenging but starting with Machine Learning is a great way to get pupils to understand the tech around them👌. CBBC presenter Tilly tells us more about why she has such an interest in AI and how we can help pupils get started 🦾.

⚡️SCIENCE LESSON IDEA⚡️
Not many people realise the micro:bit can be used to test the conductivity of materials😯. Why not integrate this feature into your science lessons for a full STEM approach💡?

-Effective prompting requires the use of decomposition skills (CT)
-Analyzing the generated code requires critical thinking skills
How do students develop these 2 skills?

📊Data logging with the micro:bit makes great MATHS activities which you can also link into other areas of the curriculum like:
Geography - Survey traffic 🚗 & wildlife 🦆
Science - Growing plants 🌱
PE - design a personalised fitness tracker 🏃

5th graders using Tinkercad?!?!? Yes they can and yes they did!!! Mix that with a science standard and you’ve got pure magic!!!!
Always a pleasure co-teaching w/Ms. Parks at @APSWJScott! All 5th grade classes designed & labeled their own 3D model of a plant or animal cell using @tinkercad! ♥️ the note feature! Such a joy to see students having fun while learning!🥰 @APSInstructTech @apsitnatasha @ahrosser

Have your students create a simulation of the Total Solar Eclipse using Scratch. They could also illustrate with Google Slides, or create a storyboard. youtu.be/0xlzXzQbJgY?si=D3xJ… #TotalSolarEclipse #SolarEclipse2024
