For this lesson plan, the goal is to teach children about the basics of healthy eating. In this lesson, children will learn about the different food groups and what makes healthy eating important. Objective: By the end of this lesson, students should be able to identify and classify different types of food, explain why healthy eating is important and list some healthy food options. Materials Needed: • Bowl of snacks (e.g. apples, carrots, wholegrain crackers, nuts etc.) • Pictures of unhealthy food (e.g. fast food, sugary drinks, processed snack foods) • Pictures of healthy food (e.g. fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy, lean protein) • Space to draw/write Activity: 1. Introduction: Ask the students to explain what healthy eating is in their own words and write the responses on a board. 2. Grouping Activity: Ask the students to sort the snacks into the four food groups (grains, fruits, vegetables, dairy/meat). If needed, provide a demonstration. 3. Discussion: Ask the class to discuss why it is important to eat a variety of foods from the different food groups. 4. Practical Demonstration: Ask for volunteers to come to the board to demonstrate which foods are healthy and which are unhealthy. 5. Creative Activity: Ask students to draw/write a few sentences about the different food groups and explain why it is important to eat healthy. Conclusion: Summarize the key points of the lesson and remind the students why they should remember to always eat healthy.

Objectives: At the end of this lesson, students will be able to: • Understand what abstraction is and why it is used • Apply abstraction to simplify design and coding • Describe how abstraction can help makes systems/problems easier to think about Introduction (5 minutes) Explain to students that they will be learning how abstraction is used in design and coding. Explain that abstraction is a process of creating something that simplifies a concept or process while still conveying its essential details. Examples (10 minutes) Give the students examples of abstraction in design and coding. In terms of design, explain that abstract designs make systems easier to read or interact with. Show them examples of logos and websites that are designed abstractly and discuss why they are easier to interact with. In terms of coding, explain that abstraction allows programmers to think of programming problems in more general terms, helping them make the coding process easier. Show them examples of simple coding problems that can be abstracted into more complex algorithms. Discussion (15 minutes) Divide the students into groups, give each group one abstraction example and have them discuss the ways abstraction simplifies the problem or system. Ask them to identify the essential details of their example that remain unchanged, and discuss how these details help solve the problem. Conclusion (5 minutes) Summarize the discussion and review the objectives of the lesson. Review the ways abstraction simplifies design and coding and how it can help make systems and problems easier to think about. Ask the students to share any questions they might have.

Activity: Cut & Stick Magnetism Objective: The students will create a visual representation of magnetic attraction by cutting out rectangles and circles of different demagnetized items and sticking the magnets to those items. Materials: -Demagnetized paper clips -Sheets of paper, rectangular and circular shapes -Magnets -Glue or tape Time Frame: 30 minutes Instructions: 1. Provide the students with a sheet of paper, rectangular and circular cardstock shapes and magnets. 2. Explain to the students that the idea of this activity is to demonstrate how magnets are attracted to certain items. 3. Ask the students to cut out and demagnetized paper clips and attach magnets to some, but not all, of them. 4. Demonstrate how to take the rectangular and circular paper shapes and attach the clip and magnet to them. 5. Have the students work in pairs, with each pair taking a different amount of clipped paper clips (although each clip should still have one magnet). 6. Have the students strategically place the paper shapes and clips so the magnets are attracted to each other. 7. Ask the students to review their work and discuss their findings. Rubric: -Accurate Anatomy: 4 points- Student accurately places magnets and paper clips according to the instructions -Accurate Spacing: 4 points- Student accurately places magnets and paper clips in appropriate distances -Creativity and Variety: 2 points- Student demonstrates creativity in the placement and design of the magnets and paper clips Exemplar: In this example, the student has accurately placed both magnets and paper clips so that they are attracted to each other. They've also made sure to keep the magnets and paper clips spaced out in an interesting and creative way so that it looks visually appealing. They get full marks for Accuracy of Anatomy, Accuracy of Spacing and Creativity and Variety according to the rubric.
