Project 3.1: Singing Bittle

Computer Science	Standard Content	Where it is in the activity?
3-5.AP.13	Decompose problems into smaller, manageable tasks which may themselves be decomposed	The "you try" section students will decompose the steps of the program in order to create a new song.
3-5.AP.14	Create programs by incorporating smaller portions of existing programs, to develop something new or add more advanced features	Coding blocks are smaller portions of existing programs.
6-8.AP.19	Document programs in order to make them easier to use, read, test, and debug	Exit ticket
6-8.DA.9	Test and analyze the effects of changing variables while using computational models	Students will change variables to affect the tone, tempo, and notes of the song.
9-12.CS.1	Describe ways in which abstractions hide the underlying implementation details of computing systems to simplify user experiences	Students can describe the way the coding blocks create visually simplified representations of code, and allow users to code programs without having to build from nothing.
