This lesson builds on How can an AI recognise what is sees? It focuses on image recognition that involves feature extraction, object detection and classification, and introduces the idea that computers store and use data using 0s and 1s.
The Western Australian Marine Science Institution has been collecting data about dugongs off the coast of the Kimberley in Northern WA. We have been provided with the raw data from its sightings trips. In this project students will learn how dugong sightings are conducted, and develop the data-science skills needed to make ...
This lesson focuses on the analysis of a dataset that records scientific data collected about the crocodile population in the Kimberley region during 2015. The lesson follows an inquiry process where students use the dataset to answer relevant questions about the crocodile population. It also provides an opportunity for ...
Students are given a bitmap image made up of coloured pixels. They explain how the image is made up of binary digits that represent each pixel. Students represent 8 colours using binary digits. Teachers assess the student’s demonstrated knowledge/skills using the checklist provided.
In this learning sequence we explore data representation, learning about the way data in the form of text can be represented in binary (on and off states). In using the context of Acknowledgement of Country, we explore First Nations Australian language or group names written digitally as symbols and using a long thread of beads.
