Cracking the Code
Selena: It's pop-up science!
On screen: In fast Flashes. Selena explores experiments in place.

On screen: Selena places slices of bread and jars of PB and jelly on a table.
Selena: It may not look like it, but I'm using computer coding techniques. Computer coding, like making a sandwich, involves following a series of steps in a specific order. Start with the bread, add the peanut butter, and then the jelly. There are a lot of fun ways to practice coding
On screen: Father and son outdoors.
Father: Okay, let's Create a special handshake.
Son: Yeah.
Father: High five.
Son: Fist bump.
Elbow tap.
Father: Let’s write down the code.
On screen: Father writes on cards.
Son: High five.
Father: HF.
Son: Fist bump.
Father: FB.
Son: Elbow tap.
Father: ET.
Both: HF…FB…ET!
Father: Let’s change it up.
Son: Yeah.
On screen: They change up the cards.
Selena: In coding, sequence matters. Changing the order gives you a different handshake.
Father and Son: FB…ET…HF!
Selena: You can expand the code by adding additional steps.
Son: Let’s add a finger snap.
Father: FS…
Both: FB…ET…HF…FS. FB…ET…HF…FS.
Selena: You can create a loop by repeating the sequence, like making multiple sandwiches.
Father and Son: FB…ET…HF…FS.
Selena: Exploring sequencing prepares kids for a future with technology
On screen: Selena takes a bite of the PB and J sandwich.
Selena: Mmm…coding is delicious.
