Are you looking for an introductory activity to Coding that can easily be upgraded to extensive coding or robotic programming? This will activity will take you step by step to creating a "city" in EXCEL (we actually recreated the city that we built in our classroom, but you can just create it in EXCEL) and then shows you how to CODE out of the city. With the help of snip tools and pens, you have numerous coding challenges for Warm-Ups or Coding Extensions. Since we actually built the city, students applied what they coded to actual programs on the robots. It was a great experience!!

I use these recording sheets when teaching simple machines. I have used them in several different ways. I have formed 6 groups and given each group several books on one simple machine. Then I have groups share what they have learned and the other students in the class take notes. I have let them research simple machines online and had them record what they have learned. I have also shown some simple machine videos and paused for discussion and note-taking. The worksheets are made to give you flexibility and to save you time!
