An unplugged 6-page STEM mini-unit on Generative AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), token prediction, image diffusion, AI hallucinations, and deepfake ethics.

Demystify generative AI for your students! Unit 3: Generative AI & Synthetic Media provides a complete, zero-prep 6-page printable mini-unit designed to help middle and high school students understand how Large Language Models (LLMs) and image generators create content—without requiring a single line of code or computer access. Aligned with NGSS, CSTA, and ISTE standards, students explore the mathematics of tokens and text prediction, learn why AI hallucinations occur, examine how image diffusion works, conduct an unplugged statistical text generation activity, and evaluate critical real-world dilemmas surrounding deepfakes and AI art ethics.

What Is Included in This 6-Page Pack?

Page 1 (Teacher Implementation Guide & Lesson Plan): Clear learning objectives, national educational standards alignment (NGSS, CSTA, ISTE), 50-minute lesson sequence, and classroom flow instructions.

Page 2 (Student Informational Text): Detailed breakdown of Tokens & Text Probability in LLMs, Image Denoising/Diffusion, AI Hallucinations, and Deepfakes/Synthetic Media.

Page 3 (Comprehension & Unplugged Activity Worksheet): 3 quick-check comprehension questions paired with the multi-step “You Are The Text Predictor” probability matrix simulation.

Page 4 (Student Evaluation & Reflection): Structured comparative table (Human Creator vs. Generative AI) and 2 critical thinking prompts on synthetic media trust and AI artist copyright ethics.

Pages 5 & 6 (2-Page Complete Teacher Answer Key): Thorough sample answers, probability matrix solutions, grading guides, and step-by-step solutions for all student activities.

Key Features Teachers Love:

Spacious 2-Page Teacher Answer Key: Detailed, stress-free reference key split across two pages so grading is fast and easy.

Standards-Aligned: Explicit connections to NGSS, CSTA, and ISTE computational thinking and media literacy standards.

100% Unplugged & Zero Prep: No computers, software logins, or coding knowledge required. Just print and go!

Modern Digital Literacy: Gives students essential tools to evaluate AI-generated text, fake media, and synthetic content critically.

Versatile Use: Ideal for computer science classes, science extensions, English/Language Arts crossovers, emergency sub plans, or Friday STEM discussions!
