Grade 5 Artificial Intelligence

Grade 5 Artificial Intelligence

Unit Overview

In the Artificial Intelligence unit students will explore foundational concepts like machine learning, algorithms, and automation to understand how AI systems work. They'll examine the ethical and legal implications of AI, including issues related to bias, privacy, and intellectual property, recognizing the importance of responsible use of technology. Through hands-on activities, students will creatively apply AI tools to solve problems and develop original projects, fostering both their understanding of AI and their ability to use it innovatively.

Content Standards

Transfer

T2 Value change, uncertainty, and risk taking as opportunities to explore identity and refine solutions to problems.

T3 Work effectively with, and learn from, others in a variety of situations, in school and beyond.

T5 Exchange information effectively for varied audiences and purposes using appropriate formats.

Enduring Understandings and Essential Questions

Artificial Intelligence Enduring Understanding aligned to appropriate Essential Questions.
Enduring Understandings Essential Questions
U1

Introductory AI concepts include machine learning, algorithms, and automation.
  • How can we use AI to address real-world problems and make a positive impact on our communities?
U2

Ethical and legal impacts related to AI extend to bias, privacy, intellectual property, etc.
  • What ethical considerations do we need to keep in mind as AI technologies continue to develop?
  • How can we ensure that access to AI is equitable?
U3

AI technologies can be used creatively to solve problems and create original projects.
  • How can AI be used to create art, music, and other forms of expression?
  • How can we ensure that AI-generated content reflects diverse perspectives and experiences?

Acquisition

Artificial Intelligence expected knowledge aligned with student skills. 
Students will know... Students will be skilled at...
1 the definition of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. identifying Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning examples.
2 how to determine if something uses Artificial Intelligence. generating examples of AI that fit the following criteria: Can it see? Can it hear? Can it read? Can it move? Can it reason?
3 how Artificial Intelligence Text to Image tools can be used to create a unique work of art. creating a unique character portrait using Adobe Express AI Text to Image tool.

Cornerstone Task

Cornerstone tasks provide students with an opportunity to create authentic products that are based on standards and connect to real-world careers.  Students will be empowered to create a product of lasting value by engaging in meaningful tasks facilitated by an educator. Each task will provide equity, differentiation, and student choice to allow students to reach milestones for success.

At this time there is not a Cornerstone Task for the Artificial Intelligence Unit.

Intentional Supports For Access and Opportunity for Multilingual Learners

Native Language Supports

At the beginning of the year and with each newly arriving Multilingual Learners (MLs): 

  • Connect with the ELD Teacher/s to obtain and discuss students’ English proficiency levels.
  • Determine with ELD Teacher if individual students would benefit from native language support (reading/ listening to directions on Canvas) and obtain a list of students’ home languages from Synergy (grades 3-5 may benefit from reading option; K-5 may benefit from listening option) 
  • Arrange to show students how to set a Canvas page to their native language.
  • Ensure this feature is active when students are reading/listening when using Canvas. 

Throughout the year: 

  • Review native language support periodically and determine if students need or prefer to activate it (check with ELD Teacher and students)
