Coding in Science
- Level Middle School, High School
- Contact Hours 20
- Timeframe Unit
Coding in Science is a series of independent, standalone modules that use coding to reinforce and extend students' understanding of science! As they learn major programming concepts, they will develop science-related projects that demonstrate their proficiency in both science and computer science.

MODULES - 4
[Middle or High School, 4-6 Hours] Students learn about the Universal Law of Gravity as they develop and use their own gravity simulation to explore its various effects.
[High School, 2-4 Hours] Students use Turtle Graphics in Python to create their own Punnett Square generator by using if/else statements, string indexing, and string methods to print the genotypes from each allele pair.
[High School, 2-4 Hours] Students use JavaScript graphics to create their own elastic collision simulation using conservation of momentum and kinetic energy equations.
[High School, 2-4 Hours] Students create a bouncing ball simulation in JavaScript, complete with gravity and collisions!

A series of independent, standalone modules that use coding to reinforce and extend students' understanding of mathematics. Because the modules are independent, a math teacher can use one without running the whole thing.
Categorizing triangles, factors, shapes and the Pythagorean theorem, solving formulas, vector maths, building mathematical models, and orbital precision.
Both, deliberately. Students learn major programming concepts and use them to build math projects that demonstrate proficiency in both subjects.
About 20 contact hours in total, but the modules are independent, so you can use as much or as little as fits.
No. Coding Explorations bundles the art, music and sports units. Coding in Math and Coding in Science are separate and are not included in it.
