AI Vocabulary Sorting Challenge

This worksheet helps students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 build understanding of artificial intelligence through classification, reasoning, vocabulary development, and explanatory writing. Students analyze AI-related terms, sort them into meaningful categories, and justify their choices using clear sentences that connect technology concepts with real-world and ethical considerations.

Learning Goals

• AI Concept Understanding (Grades 4-6) – Students identify and distinguish between types of AI, real-world AI applications, and ethical concerns connected to technology.
