Description

Teach students about computer science with digital sorting activities for Conditionals. 2 types of digital activities ask students to act like a computer to sort items based on a condition and then take a look at a set of items and create their own condition before they sort.

Use these activities as a lesson on understanding what conditions are in computer science. Digital poster and vocabulary cards included.
