77	Lesson	Computer science	Binary	2+	NA	Count the dots	http://csunplugged.org/binary-numbers/	The binary number system plays a central role in how information of all kinds is stored on computers. Understanding binary can lift a lot of the mystery from computers, because at a fundamental level they’re really just machines for flipping binary digits on and off. There are several activities on binary numbers in this document, all simple enough that they can be used to teach the binary system to anyone who can count! Generally children learn the binary system very quickly using this approach, but we find that many adults are also excited when they finally understand what bits and bytes really are.
78	Lesson	Computer science	Binary	3+	45+	Binary bracelets	https://code.org/curriculum/course2/14/Teacher	Binary is extremely important to the computer world. The majority of computers today store all sorts of information in binary form.

This is an absorbing activity for an individual student or a whole classroom.
91	Lesson	Computer science	Encryption	5+	5+	Sharing secrets	http://csunplugged.org/information-hiding/	Computers are often used to store private information, and we often want to share parts of it without giving up our full privacy. This activity shows a surprising technique discovered by computer scientists that seems impossible; it allows people to share personal certain kinds of information accurately without having to give up any privacy at all.
92	Lesson	Computer science	Encryption	6+	30+	Kid krypto	http://csunplugged.org/public-key-encryption/	Public key encryption is an extraordinary recent development that has made internet commerce possible. It allows people to encrypt and decrpyt messages without having to share a password to unlock them. It is hard to believe that such a system could exist, yet this mode of encryption is widely used because it is This activity works with two people, but it’s most exciting with a whole class, with everybody else trying to intercept a message sent between two students.so easy to set up. This activity is fairly demanding, and requires students to be careful in the way the encode messages. Also, the samples provided here are aimed at junior high students; some younger students may find it too difficult, and more capable or older students are likely to need more complex “maps” to make the encryption convincing, since the one provided can be solved relatively easily. Balancing the amount of tedious effort required for large maps against the insecurity of smaller maps needs to be done by the teacher, although this issue can be a discussion point for the class, since the goal is to understand the issues around encryption.
93	Lesson	Computer science	Hardware	.K+	NA	Simulate a computer	https://sites.google.com/site/childrenandtechnology/presentation-3-simulate-computer	Draw a computer and look at computer components. Use children to simulate mouse, IO controller and a processor on the example of Calculator program. Before simulating the whole system, let kids get a feel of each individual component.
94	Lesson	Computer science	Hardware	NA	45-60+	My first computer exercise	http://blog.helloruby.com/post/131553874873/for-educators-lesson-plan-for-my-first-computer	My First Computer exercise is an introduction to the amazing machine that is the computer. Few things are as exciting as computers. And now kids will get to design their very own one.
95	Lesson	Computer science	Internet	NA	NA	How the internet works	http://cse4k12.org/internet/how-internet-works.html	This activity is an interactive demonstration of what happens when you type a URL into a browser. In this activity the students will be guided to act out the various parts of the internet: websites, routers, name servers, ISPs and home computers.
96	Lesson	Computer science	Networking	2+	NA	Introducing the internet: Telephone and networks	http://mediasmarts.ca/sites/mediasmarts/files/lesson-plans/lesson_introducing_internet_telephones_networks.pdf	This lesson provides studetns with an understanding of the basic structure of electronic network communications and how Internet communications are different from telephone conversations. In a hands-on classroom activity, children create and use paper cup telephones and compare this to sending messages over a computer "web" created with photocopies of computers linked by yarn.
97	Lesson	Computer science	Networking	2+	NA	Tourist town	http://csunplugged.org/dominating-sets/	Like the Graph Coloring problem, the dominating set problem is one that no efficient solution has been found for, even though it is very simple to describe.
98	Lesson	Computer science	Networking	4+	NA	Tablets of stone	http://csunplugged.org/network-protocols/	Computers talk to each other over the internet via messages. However, the internet is not reliable and sometimes these messages get lost. There are certain bits of information we can add to messages to make sure they are sent. This information makes up a protocol.
99	Lesson	Computer science	Networking	4+	NA	The muddy city	http://csunplugged.org/minimal-spanning-trees/	Networks are everywhere in modern society: roads, wires, water and gas pipes all connect one place to another. Computers are built of networks at many levels, from the microscopic connections between transistors in a chip to the cables and satellites that link the internet around the world. People who build networks often need to work out the most efficient way to make connections, which can be a difficult problem. This puzzle shows students the decisions involved in linking a network between houses in a muddy city. It can lead on to a discussion of minimal spanning tree algorithms for optimizing networks.
100	Lesson	Computer science	Networking	4+	NA	The orange game	http://csunplugged.org/routing-and-deadlock/	Computer networks are based on passing messages from computer to computer. This sounds simple in principle, but in practice all sorts of contention and bottlenecks can occur. This activity gives some first hand experience of such issues, with a game for a group of students.
