Horses Lesson Plan
In our horses lesson plan, we introduce students to the idea of how natives
caught wild horses, as well as an intellectual understanding of how conditional
statements are seen in computer science. By the end of this lesson, we intend
students to understand how a computer reads conditional statements and how to
create conditional statements of their own.
The figure above shows the Alice environment for the Horses Lesson Plan.
