Lesson 2

Without a doubt

Students are introduced to data and discuss how data sets can be created to ensure that a certain type of response is more likely to happen. On a planning sheet, they will create a list of responses to generic yes or no questions. They will make a prediction about what type of response will most likely happen based on their data set. In Scratch, they will learn how to store these responses in a list. To conclude the lesson, they will test their program.
