Generate resourceIdentify the result of a conditional statement (e.g., in the statement, "If it is dark, then turn on the light," the result is the lights turning on).
Generate resourceExplore how tasks can be decomposed into simple tasks and simple tasks can be composed to form complex tasks.
Generate resourceCompose multiple levels of simple tasks (e.g., eating breakfast can include going to the table, sitting down in a chair, and picking up a spoon; brushing your teeth; walking to the bus stop) to make a more complex task.
Generate resourceDecompose a complex task of higher complexity (e.g., cooking a meal) into simple tasks (e.g., selecting a recipe, getting the ingredients, preparing the food, and serving the meal, where the task of getting the ingredients can be decomposed into writing a shopping list, going to a store, selecting and buying the ingredients, and going home).
