Standards in this Framework
| Standard | Description |
|---|---|
| 6.1 | The student will construct programs to accomplish a task as a means of creative expression or scientific exploration using a block based or text based programming language, both independently and collaboratively, a) combining control structures such as if-statements and loops; and b) creating clearly named variables that represent different data types, including numeric and non-numeric data, and perform operations on their values. |
| 6.2 | The student will trace programs to predict outcomes and debug (correct and improve) for correctness. |
| 6.3 | The student will seek and incorporate feedback from team members and users to refine a program that meets user needs. |
| 6.4 | The student will incorporate existing code, media, and libraries into original programs, and give attribution. |
| 6.5 | The student will design projects that combine hardware and software components to collect and exchange data. |
| 6.6 | The student will identify physical and digital security measures used protect electronic information. |
| 6.7 | The student will explain how binary sequences are used to represent digital data. Exclusion: Conversions between binary and base-ten numbers are beyond the scope of these standards. |
| 6.8 | The student will collect data using computational tools then clean and organize to make it more useful and reliable. |
| 6.9 | The student will explain the insight and knowledge gained from digitally processed data by using appropriate visualizations. |
| 6.10 | The student will use models and simulations to formulate, refine, and test hypotheses. |
| 6.11 | The student will explain how computing has impacted innovations in other fields. |
| 6.12 | The student will explore careers related to data. |
| 6.13 | The student will explain why the speed of data transmission across the Internet can vary depending on the type of data being transmitted. |
