This lesson introduces students to binary numbers and how to count and convert between binary and decimal. Students will learn to count in binary, convert between the two number systems, and use binary to encode and decode secret messages. The lesson includes hands-on activities to have students practice these skills and discuss how binary is used in computing for things like email, memory size, colors, and more. It aims to teach students the importance of binary and how it serves as the foundation for computer science.

Overview Objectives This lesson introduces students to the concept of binary numbers and Students will be able to: how to count using the binary number system. Students will learn how to ● Count in binary ● Convert binary to decimal convert binary to decimal and viceversa through topics important to ● Convert decimal to binary computer science. ● Encode and Decode messages
using binary ● Explain the importance of binary in Lesson Summary computer science ● Journal Activity: “How high can you count on your fingers?”(5 minutes) ● Discuss/share journal entries Materials and Prep ● CS Unplugged Activity 1:Count the Dots—Binary Numbers: Counting in ● CS Unplugged Binary Numbers Binary and Converting to and from Decimal Activities ● Discussion on activity and the game 2048 ● Device with the game 2048 ○ Have students try to complete game ● http://web.alfredstate.edu/weimand ● Journal Entry: Complete Sending Secret Messages Activity from CS n/miscellaneous/ascii/ascii_index.h Unplugged tml (ASCII conversion tabledon’t ● Discuss binary in computer science and use the remaining activities to use first column) bring up topics such as ○ Email Resources ○ Bits and bytes (64 bit vs. 32 bit) Student Documents ○ DVDs and CDs ● Student Journals ○ Color (why the numbers only go to 255 when selecting a color)
and other evidence of binary numbers in computing Assessments ○ Discuss that binary is NOT a programming language and that ● Journal Entries there is a need for a compiler ● ASCII/binary secret message ● Introduce ASCII and have students convert a message into binary and ● pass on to another student to solve. Notes CS Content The CS content covered in this lesson is the binary system and the importance it has in computer science. They will start off learning how binary is like a light switch and continue on to see how a bunch of these “light switches” create a foundation for computers to do what they do today.
