Concept: Algorithms and Programming (AP)

Subconcept: Algorithms (A)

Compare, test, and refine multiple algorithms for the same task and determine which is the most effective.

Subconcept: Control (C)

Create programs that include sequences, events, loops, and conditionals.

Subconcept: Modularity (M)

Decompose problems into manageable subproblems to facilitate the program development process.

Modify, remix, or incorporate portions of an existing program into one's own work, to develop something new or add more advanced features.

Subconcept: Program Development (PD)

Use an iterative process to plan the development of a program by including others' perspectives and considering user preferences.

Observe intellectual property rights and give appropriate attribution when creating or remixing programs.

Test and debug (identify and fix errors) a program or algorithm to ensure it runs as intended.

Take on varying roles when collaborating with peers during the design, implementation, and review stages of program development.

Describe choices made during program development using code comments, presentations, and demonstrations.

Subconcept: Variables (V)

Recognizing that the data type determines the values that can be stored and the operations that can be performed on the data.

Concept: Computing Systems (CS)

Subconcept: Devices (D)

Analyze and model how internal and external parts of computing devices communicate as a system.

Explain how computing devices affect humans in positive and negative ways.

Subconcept: Hardware and Software (HS)

Model how information is transformed into binary digits to be stored or processed.

Demonstrate and explain how hardware can accomplish different tasks depending on the software.

Subconcept: Troubleshooting (T)

Apply potential solutions and solve simple hardware and software problems using common troubleshooting strategies.

Concept: Data and Analysis (DA)

Subconcept: Collection, Visualization and Transformation (CVT)

Select tools to collect, organize, manipulate, and present data visually through multiple representations to highlight relationships and support a claim.

Subconcept: Inference and Models (IM)

Use data to propose cause-and-effect relationships, predict outcomes, or communicate an idea.

Subconcept: Storage (S)

Discuss different file extensions and how they are stored and retrieved on a computing device.

Develop, revise, and use models based on evidence to construct explanations about the movement of the Earth and Moon within our solar system.

Obtain, analyze, and communicate evidence to support an explanation that the gravitational force of Earth on objects is directed toward the planet's center.

Concept: Impacts of Computing (IC)

Subconcept: Culture (C)

Discuss computing technologies that have changed the world.

Design ways to improve the accessibility and usability of technology products for the diverse needs and wants of users.

Subconcept: Social Interactions (SI)

Seek opportunities for local and global collaboration to facilitate communication and innovation.

Subconcept: Safety, Law, and Ethics (SLE)

Use public domain or creative commons media, and refrain from copying or using material created by others without permission.

Construct an explanation based on evidence that the changes in an environment can affect the development of the traits in a population of organisms.

Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about patterns between the offspring of plants, and the offspring of animals (including humans); construct an explanation of how genetic information is passed from one generation to the next.

Obtain, evaluate, and communicate evidence about how natural and human-caused changes to habitats or climate can impact populations.

Construct an argument based on evidence that inherited characteristics can be affected by behavior and/or environmental conditions.

Concept: Networks and the Internet (NI)

Subconcept: Cybersecurity (C)

Identify solutions to real-world cybersecurity problems and how personal information can be protected.

Subconcept: Network, Communication, and Organization (NCO)

Analyze the advantages and disadvantages of various network types.

Analyze and interpret data to explain that matter of any type can be subdivided into particles too small to see and, in a closed system, if properties change or chemical reactions occur, the amount of matter stays the same.

Plan and carry out investigations to demonstrate that some substances combine to form new substances with different properties and others can be mixed without taking on new properties.

Construct an explanation using evidence to demonstrate that objects can affect other objects even when they are not touching.

Obtain, analyze, and communicate evidence of the effects that balanced and unbalanced forces have on the motion of objects.

Define problems and design solutions pertaining to force and motion.

Analyze and interpret data to determine how and where energy is transferred when objects move.
