A full set of resources for a lesson around screentime. Covers identifying habits and behaviours (e.g., excessive screen time or video game usage) that can be detrimental to health, and explain how people can be encouraged to adopt healthier alternatives. Resources include: Discussions Brainstorming Collages Track your screen time

Dijkstra’s Algorithm The way I would run this is to talk through the motivation for the algorithm from the presentation, and give the terminology worksheet to be filled in (answer in the presentation). We’d then work through the brute force worksheet. I might then run through the example, then give them the simple graph to fill in. Than we would work through TaskGraph1 for the graphs. Then I might get them to either code, or come up with graphs for them to solve in small groups or in pairs. Included: TPT presentation Labels to fill in worksheets to give structure for the students to fill in answers TaskGraph1 3 graphs to run Dijkstras on. AnswerGraph1 and 2 -answers for the graphs Brute force worksheet and brute force worksheet answers
