RV Computer Science, Robotics, & ELD Week 5/20 - 24/2024

  Hello Everyone!

I hope you all had a great weekend.  Here is some information for Monday.  I will be out as I am helping interview our next vice principal for Rio Vista.  

This will be our last week of keyboarding.  You will have your final keyboarding test on Thursday.  Keep practicing this week.

Seating charts will be out on Tuesday for all classes.

Periods 3, 4, & 5 will be working on drones and more starting on Tuesday.  Use today's activity to get an idea of the basic coding needed to drive a machine.

Period 6 will be starting to code using this Mars Rover Simulation.  We'll start our coding unit on Tuesday

Period 7 will be working on their challenges.

Make it a great day you all!  I have some great prizes to give away to all of those who do well on the Mars simulator.   Make sure to take a screenshot of your best score.

There will be Rootbeer floats on Friday for all of those who do well and don't get your name on the Guest Teacher's notes regarding behavior issues.

Period 3 - ELD


Monday Morning Routine
Keyboarding - 10 min - (13 on the clock)

Hi all, your seating chart will be ready on Tuesday.  Today, have some fun programming an unmanned rover on Mars.  The actions you are doing in this simulation will be very similar to how you will code your drones to fly a task.

First, here is a little background information about what the 2 newest Mars Rovers are doing.


Next, how do the rovers on Mars actually get driving instructions?


Your turn to drive a rover in a Mars simulation.  Your goals:
  1. investigate each marked area using code.  The simpler the better.
  2. choose which ones to investigate knowing some sites are more valuable than others.
  3. who has the highest score?  
  4. Take a screenshot of your high score.  You can do this more than once.
Here is a quick "How To" video -


And Finally, the Mars Rover Simulation - Have Fun!  You can work as a team so long as you are working on this.  Click on the image to get to the simulation.





Tuesday Morning Routine
Keyboarding - 10 min - (13 on the clock)
Question - Writing practice 

Look up the handwritten alphabet - What do you want your script to look like?



Wednesday Morning Routine
Keyboarding - 10 min - (13 on the clock)
Journal Writing - Cursive practice

Drone Flying
  • Battery charging & safety


Thursday Morning Routine
Keyboarding - 10 min - (13 on the clock)
Journal Writing - Cursive practice

Get onto Scratch 3 for Tello.  Build your basic code.

We'll be learning some drone operation basics

  • Operational Laws for Recreational Use
  • Preflight the drone
  • Binding the drone
  • Running the code
  • Emergencies - what to do?
    • takes off
    • won't land
    • Overheating

Friday Morning Routine
Keyboarding - 10 min - (13 on the clock)
Journal Writing - Cursive practice

May Keyboarding Test - In typing.com:
  • Warm up for about 5 minutes

  • Take 2 - 1 minute tests

  • Post the screenshot in your portfolio - take a screenshot of the graph & your two tests.

  • Write down your reflection - What is this, How did I make it, How do I feel about it? This is your final test and reflection for the year.

Has this daily practice helped you keyboard more confidently? 
Was it worth your time to practice this skill?
