Lesson 2 Activity 1 - Decode the model
In this activity, students will explore the model and decode each procedure of the base model.
Watch video on how to decode and trace a program's execution
Review CS Concepts:
Review the CS concepts you learned in Module 1 using these two documents
then review these new concepts and commands:
(x, y) coordinates and heading
Repeat block
Count agents block
Run and decode the model yourself:
Here are links to the Chemical Reactions base model and the decoding sheets
to use while decoding.
Check your understanding by watching this video that decodes the Chemical Reaction model.
Quiz questions:
Reflection:
Upload your decoding sheets and save your notes to your portfolio in the section "SL Nova Projects- Physical" under the heading "Decoding the base model".
- Watch a video on "How to Decode" a model
- Review the CS concepts you've learned and new concepts
- Run and decode the model yourself.
- Check your understanding
- Observe and write about the behavior of the system.
