Simple scripting questions involving getting a model children and checking the properties?

I am making a script so it checks if a certain model parts inside are cancollide or not. Please help me figure out how to write a script checking if the model children are cancollide or not.

Isn't it something like ...

CHILDREN = InsertIndexOfModelHere:GetChildren() --replace InsertIndexOfModelHere with the path to index your model (like script.Parent)
for _, v in pairs (CHILDREN) do
	if v:IsA("BasePart") then
		if v.CanCollide == false then
			print(v.Name.."Is not CanCollide")
		else
			print(v.Name.."IS CANCOLLIDE WOOHOO")
		end
	end
end

Basically what I did here was take the model and use the GetChildren() method to assign all children to the variable CHILDREN in a table.

Then, using a for loop, for every value, I checked if it was a solid Part, and if that Part was cancollide

Then, I printed whether it was or was not.
