Learners complete an activity that illustrates the concepts of giving accurate instructions and computer programming. They also identify the relationship of the instructions/code to computer programming. Students then create a peanut...

Introduce high schoolers interested in animation programming to fundamental programming concepts so that they can plan and write simple programs.

In this computer programming worksheet, students answer 50 multiple choice questions on different member functions and C++ programming.

You deserve a C++. Released items from the last year of C++ programming for the AP Computer science course provides opportunities to practice. Pupils use the questions to develop their programming skills by finding solutions to the...

Coding works for other fields. The free-response questions for AP Computer science require pupils to develop code to solve a problem. Problems range from creating a histogram to developing an encryption program. Teachers use the...

Find the data in an array. Questions for the 2002 AP® Computer Science exam provide opportunities for practice using their ability to use an array structure. Four questions provide different scenarios to use arrays. Pupils then create...

Pupils study commands to navigate the desktop, enter the start menu, and enter and exit the programs menu.

Young computer scientists get to see what it's like to be a software engineer as they use free online software to design a computer game. They play and evaluate games groups created to round out the activity.

If you use the resource, then pupils will understand conditional block instructions. In the first lab of a six-part unit, pupils learn how to use conditional statements (if/then) in block instructions for computer programming. They apply...

Students develop a working model computer program of a recycling center addressing the material management, work schedules and business finances of running the recycling center.

Emerging engineers read about Arduino software and how it can be used. Then they follow a nine-step tutorial to connect an Arduino board to a computer and put it to work! The objective is to code a program that will cause an LED to...

Ahoy there! A fun computer science lesson challenges pupils to write a program that creates an ocean wave. They then develop stories to accompany their projects. All of this takes place within the Scratch coding program.

Develop an array of solutions. The released questions provide an insight on how to use C++ programming to work with arrays. Pupils respond to the questions by creating lines of code to accomplish specific tasks. The 2001 exam uses the...

Students are introduced to the language in C programming. In groups, they determine the correct function to be used and practice running the program to achieve the desired results. They end the lesson plan by programming more difficult...

Students study basic computer programming and the work of software engineers.  In this creative lesson students create their own software game.

Who knew turning a light on and off could be so complicated? In the lesson, pupils use Arduino boards to learn about computer codes and programs. They program an Arduino to make a light turn on and off at certain time intervals.

Look at it go. The resource, the third in a series of five using a Roomba, explains the different types of movements a Roomba makes, then challenges pupils to create computer codes that will cause the Roomba to travel specific paths.

Students practice drawing contour lines using a computer program. Using the lines, they use them in a photo scanned onto the same computer with a photo-editing option. They change the colors and textures of the photo and turn it in to...

Digital, analog, and now binary clocks? The activity teaches individuals how to interpret binary code. They use an online software program to read binary clocks.

In this programming learning exercise, students answer 50 multiple choice and true or false questions on functions and binary numbers.

Twelfth graders compare and contrast variables and arrays. Using data, they enter the information into a spreadsheet and an array to compare how they appear. To end the lesson plan, they complete basic programs in which they use arrays.

Solve a maze ... from a robot's point of view. In the lesson, your scholars build a small, simple maze from cardboard and then find a route from the start point to the finish point. They write an algorithmic process that a robot could...

Turn your classroom into a music studio as groups work together to determine why music sounds different when performed live versus a recording. After listening to some different music, each group picks a poem, creates a recording, and...

Combat crime with computers. The lesson teaches young computer scientists about decision trees and how to use them. They consider telecommunications subscriptions and how decision trees can help detect fraud.
