Lesson Plan: Introduction to Bubble

Sort Algorithm in C#
Learning Objectives
1. Understand the basic concept of sorting in programming.
2. Introduce and explain the Bubble Sort algorithm.
3. Learn to implement the Bubble Sort algorithm in C#.
4. Practice using loops and swapping elements to sort an array.

Lesson Duration and Requirements


Duration: 15 minutes
Required Tools: A computer with C# development environment (e.g., Visual Studio, Visual
Studio Code, or any C# IDE).
Target Audience: Children under 12 years old with little or no prior programming
experience.

Lesson Plan
1. **Introduction to Bubble Sort (2 minutes)**
- Explain the concept of sorting using an analogy: sorting marbles from lightest to heaviest.
- Introduce the idea that sorting is a process of comparing and rearranging elements in a
specific order.

2. **Explaining Bubble Sort Algorithm (5 minutes)**


- Present the Bubble Sort algorithm step by step using a simple example (e.g., [5, 3, 8, 4,
2]).
- Explain how the algorithm compares adjacent elements and swaps them if necessary
until the entire array is sorted.

3. **C# Code Implementation (3 minutes)**


- Show the C# code for the Bubble Sort algorithm.
- Explain the purpose of each part of the code (loops, comparisons, and swaps).

4. **Practice and Exploration (3 minutes)**


- Have the students modify the array and see the result of sorting different sets of
numbers.
- Encourage students to experiment with sorting in descending order or adding more
elements to the array.
5. **Conclusion (2 minutes)**
- Recap the concept of sorting and how Bubble Sort works.
- Encourage students to continue experimenting with the algorithm and try other sorting
methods in the future.

Teaching Strategy
1. **Engagement**: Begin by asking students if they have ever sorted things (toys, marbles,
etc.). Connect this real-life experience to the concept of sorting in programming.
2. **Visualization**: Use simple examples and visual aids to demonstrate the sorting
process. For instance, show how smaller numbers "bubble" to the top in each pass.
3. **Hands-on Practice**: Encourage students to modify the array and test different
numbers to make the learning more interactive and enjoyable.
4. **Encouragement**: Support students during practice by explaining how they can
improve their code or try sorting in different ways.

C# Code for Bubble Sort Algorithm


```csharp
using System;

class Program
{
static void Main()
{
int[] arr = { 5, 3, 8, 4, 2 }; // Example array to be sorted
Console.WriteLine("Original Array:");
PrintArray(arr);

BubbleSort(arr);

Console.WriteLine("Sorted Array:");
PrintArray(arr);
}

static void BubbleSort(int[] arr)


{
int n = arr.Length;
for (int i = 0; i < n - 1; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < n - 1 - i; j++)
{
if (arr[j] > arr[j + 1])
{
int temp = arr[j];
arr[j] = arr[j + 1];
arr[j + 1] = temp;
}
}
}
}

static void PrintArray(int[] arr)


{
foreach (int value in arr)
{
Console.Write(value + " ");
}
Console.WriteLine();
}
}
```

Assessment
1. Observe if students can explain the sorting process in their own words.
2. Check if students can modify the array and experiment with sorting it themselves.
3. Ask students to describe what happens when they change the order of the numbers in the
array.
