| 6-8.AP.09 | Use debugging and testing to improve program quality. |
| 6-8.CS.01 | Exemplify how computational devices impact the quality of life (both positively and negatively) and enhance the ability of people to perform work, communicate, and interact with others. |
| 6-8.CS.02 | Compare and contrast the ways that humans and machines process instructions and sense the world. |
| 6-8.CS.03 | Differentiate features of everyday objects that contain computing components (i.e., computing systems that collect, store, analyze, and/or transmit data) (e.g. Kinect, GoPro, smartphone, car). |
| 6-8.CS.04 | Apply troubleshooting strategies for solving hardware and software problems (e.g. recognizing, describing, reproducing, isolating, fixing and retesting). |
| 6-8.CS.05 | Compare and contrast the capabilities of different hardware and software in computer systems (e.g. processors, display types, input devices, communication, and storage capabilities). |
| 6-8.DA.01 | Describe the trade-off between quality and file size of stored data (e.g. music, video, text, images). |
| 6-8.DA.02 | Defend the selection of the data, collection, and analysis needed to answer a question. |
