Safe and Responsible AI Use is a Grade 3 Computer Science worksheet resource that teaches children how to use artificial intelligence thoughtfully, protect personal information, verify AI-generated answers, and recognize when to ask a trusted adult for help. Through realistic school situations, students explore the digital citizenship skills they need when interacting with AI and smart technology.

Build Safe AI Habits Through Everyday Situations

As artificial intelligence becomes part of everyday learning, students need clear guidance about what information they can trust and what they should keep private. This resource introduces responsible AI use through age-appropriate explanations, practical examples, and opportunities to apply safe technology habits.

Students explore essential concepts, including:

• AI awareness: Recognizing how artificial intelligence can support learning, writing, and generating ideas.
• Online privacy: Identifying personal information, including passwords, home addresses, and school details, that should not be shared with unfamiliar AI tools.
• Information verification: Understanding why AI-generated answers may contain mistakes and how trusted books and teachers can help verify important facts.
• Responsible decision-making: Following classroom instructions, respecting other people's privacy, and seeking adult guidance when technology produces confusing or uncomfortable messages.

Explore a Realistic Classroom Scenario

A central reading passage follows Maya as she uses an AI tool to research ocean animals. When the tool provides a surprising fact about dolphins, Maya checks a trusted science book instead of immediately copying the answer. Later, she refuses to provide her home address and tells her teacher.

This scenario gives students a concrete example of checking information, protecting privacy, and responding appropriately to unfamiliar technology. Students then apply these principles to their own schoolwork and hypothetical situations.

What's Included

• Student worksheet featuring a dialogue activity and matching pairs.
• Reading and filling activity using a cloze passage.
• Diagram-labeling activity reinforcing the lesson concepts.
• Informational reading passage about safe and responsible AI use.
• Reading comprehension practice with multiple-choice and true-or-false questions.
• Short-answer questions and an extended written response requiring students to explain responsible decisions.
• Separate Teacher Guide PDF containing Learning Objectives, Teaching Tips, Discussion Questions, and Common Mistakes.

Bring Digital Citizenship Into Your Classroom

Use this resource during an introductory AI and smart technology lesson, a digital citizenship discussion, or independent Computer Science practice. Begin with the reading passage and discuss Maya's choices before students complete the accompanying activities.

The written responses provide opportunities to examine how students would handle incorrect AI information, requests for personal details, and situations requiring adult assistance. The Teacher Guide supports lesson preparation and follow-up discussion.

By connecting AI safety to familiar classroom experiences, this resource helps Grade 3 students explain responsible technology choices rather than simply memorize online safety rules.
