Plugged Activites


  1. Using variables like the time, whether you are hungry, and whether you have school to create a simulator of your everyday routine. The students should have at least two compound conditionals. For example if the time is less than 1000 (10:00) and hungry is true, print “time for breakfast”! Encourage the kids to get creative using integers, bools, and strings to represent states of the parts of their mornings.
