Hour of AI: Sorting with Decision Trees
45min
Students will be able to explain how AI uses data to learn and make decisions and create a simple decision tree to sort items based on rules.
Prerequisites
_Computer Science_: Students should have experience interacting with technology.
Lesson Preparation
* _This is the Hour of AI version of the lesson. For the original version, see the lesson with the same title (without “Hour of AI”)._
* If time is limited, the Independent Practice section of the lesson may be omitted.
* Print 1 copy of the Sorting with a Decision Tree Handout for each student.
* Arrange the classroom to facilitate both group and individual activities.
