Privacy and Safety With AI is a Grade 5 Computer Science resource focused on making careful, responsible choices when using AI tools and smart technology. Students examine personal data, privacy settings, unnecessary information requests, and practical ways to protect information while using AI-powered apps.

What Students Practice

The resource builds practical digital citizenship skills through situations students can recognize and discuss. Students identify types of personal data that should be protected, explain how privacy settings can limit unnecessary data sharing, describe safe responses to information requests, and evaluate simple privacy and safety situations.

Key concepts include personal information, data sharing, privacy, app settings, data access, responsible AI use, and asking a trusted adult for help when an AI request is confusing or unnecessary. Examples address information such as a full name, home address, and school information, helping students connect privacy ideas to realistic technology choices.

Student Activities

Students work through a dialogue, matching activity, cloze exercise, labeled diagram, and reading passage before applying the concepts through multiple-choice questions, true-or-false statements, brief written responses, and an extended response. The reading and questions reinforce why privacy matters, what users can learn from app settings, how to reduce unnecessary sharing, and why careful habits do not guarantee that every AI tool is completely safe.

Classroom Use

Use this worksheet for Computer Science instruction on artificial intelligence and smart technology, digital citizenship lessons, independent practice, or a guided class discussion. The varied activities allow students to move from identifying privacy concepts to evaluating choices and explaining how they would respond when an AI app requests personal information.

Teacher Support

• Teacher Guide provided as a separate PDF
• Learning Objectives for lesson planning
• Teaching Tips for classroom implementation
• Discussion Questions to support conversation
• Common Mistakes to help address likely misunderstandings

This resource gives teachers a focused way to connect AI use with privacy and safety decisions while keeping the emphasis on concrete, age-appropriate choices. Students are prompted to pause before sharing information, review available settings, limit unnecessary access, and seek trusted adult guidance when needed.
