Going Further

Deepening Inquiry, Coding & Problem Solving

Extend learning into creation, testing complex hypotheses, programming algorithms, and building digital models.

🧠 Thinking Routines

Test variable changes and observe system behaviors under new parameters.

1.Identify a key variable in a code block or model (e.g., gravity speed, loop count).
2.Predict: What if we increase this parameter tenfold?
3.Run the simulation and record outcomes.

"What if we change the loop delay from 1 second to 0.05 seconds in our game loop?"

Deconstruct a complex hardware system or program into functional layers.

"Deconstruct an autonomous robotic car system."
