Lists

In this unit, students will explore how to create and utilize lists in their programs that allow them to work their mind and muscles through stretches and games. Students will experience how to effectively utilize, compare, and combine lists with an emphasis on the importance of naming variables and lists to easily tell them apart as they program. Students will utilize sensors to assist them in gathering data for their lists as they explore different types of movement and mind games in this unit.
