Computational Thinking can be used in various subjects. In fact, many teachers may even already be encouraging aspects of Computational Thinking without being aware of it. For example, models play a key role in Computational Thinking.

A model originates through the abstraction of the concrete and constitutes a reduced representation that still takes all essential aspects into account.

This definition overlaps to a great extent with theoretical scientific models, such as atomic models.

Another example from Experimento | 10+, the international STEM education program of Siemens Stiftung for the age group 10-18 years, also has connections to Computational Thinking:

The students experiment with the lemon battery. But how does the lemon battery work? Where does the electricity come from? When you suggest to the students that they should investigate the functions of the individual components more closely (e.g., copper nail, lemon juice), they then break down a larger problem into smaller subproblems. This process is already the beginning of Computational Thinking.

You will find the instructions for the lemon battery experiment and an overview of additional experiments from the topics of energy, the environment, and health within Experimento | 10+ in the Experimento matrix.
