IT'S GOOD TO BE A CARRIER? 

If a person is a carrier for sickle cell anemia, they are immune to malaria.  But, how can we tell how likely somebody is to be a carrier?  Check out this video that explains how algorithmic thinking can be applied to punnett squares and genetic probability. 

WHY CAN'T YOU CARRY 20 GALLONS OF WATER?

Dimensional analysis is at the heart of many sciences, but students may become confused when conversions are more abstract.  This video explains how students can apply algorithmic thinking to dimensional analysis.  Specifically, students can convert from gallons of water to pounds using manipulatives and computer science concepts.
