Understanding AI: Foundational AI Literacy for Grades 2nd-8th

This guide from Google introduces the fundamental concepts of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for students in grades 2 through 8. It aims to foster AI literacy, enabling young learners to interact with AI safely and intelligently as they grow.

What is AI Literacy?

These lessons are designed to provide elementary and middle school students with a solid foundation in AI literacy. The curriculum focuses on building understanding and critical thinking about AI, rather than direct instruction on using AI tools. Students will learn to recognize AI in daily life, understand generative AI, define digital citizenship, and evaluate AI's impact.

Key Learning Objectives

  • Recognize examples of AI in daily life.
  • Describe generative AI and its function.
  • Define digital citizenship and its characteristics.
  • Explain potential issues with AI-generated information, such as bias and misinformation.
  • Evaluate scenarios involving AI use for responsible and safe interaction.

Curriculum Structure

The guide is structured into three lessons:

  1. Lesson 1: What is AI? Explores the basic definition and workings of AI.
  2. Lesson 2: Digital Citizenship and AI Focuses on responsible online behavior in the context of AI.
  3. Lesson 3: Responsible AI Use Covers ethical considerations and safe practices when using AI.

Each lesson includes ready-to-use content, discussion scripts, activities, and handouts to facilitate learning.
