Lesson Planning
Planning and outlining simulation lesson
Lesson Outline
- Intro to simulations
- describe what a simulation is from Collegeboard
- how it is different from an experiment (ex. virtual vs. real life)
- Show parking lot example and explain how the binary works (include learnings from binary lesson)
- Present Hacks
- fixing rolling dice code
- create something with binary?
- answer questions about simulations
- fill in the blank?
Lesson To-Do:
- Intro to a simulation <- similar to collegeboard (explain what it is and purpose/how it is different from an experiment)
- Research the development of simulations
- Rolling dice simulation as example? < could be homework (more simple)
- Design a simulation of a parking lot for lesson (use binary and each parking spot is represented by a bit)
- Convert ideas into one programming language (Javascript?)
- create a hw assignment (have students develop their own simulation? Creative freedom or pre-determined simulation? Debug/correct errors in a pre-made simulation?)
- make a notes “template” in VS code (markdown) where students can fill in the blank <part of intro and in teaching development
Simulation To-Do:
- explain notes to Sri and Ava (try to remember/make sense of notes)
- create an HTML table
- convert ideas into one programming language (javascript?)
- start code with fixed numbers (example: 7,9,2,12)
- make a for loop and nested for loop where it turns on an image (of a car) where the bit =1
- make a button that will generate 4 random numbers (random grid of cars 4x4 bits <each row is a number represented by 4 bits)
- test, test, test
- create an explanation of code + explain use of simulation (basically speaker notes for lesson)
