Introduction to BASIC Programming, Part III
Here is Part 3 of this extremely (and surprisingly) popular coding lab. In this lab, students learn several critical functions / subroutines in BASIC that enable them to write their own creative programs. Having taught this class for many years, this is one of those labs that I am always excited to see what imaginative creation the students produce. I have no doubt you will find the same joy and satisfaction with seeing your students constantly push themselves to think outside the box. Rubric c

Learn the properties of gravity by coding in Scratch
No experience needed in programming. Tie together the idea that gravity accelerates and also learn the basics of coding. Scratch is a free online coding platform and I walk you through all the steps needed to make a simple program of an accelerating apple. Coding is a great way to introduce STEM into your classroom and this will help increase your confidence in its use.
What is provided?
1. A step-by-step how-to video showing how to code an apple accelerating downward in Scratch
2. A workbook

Programming in BASIC, part II
This lab is a continuation from Physics: Introduction to Programming in BASIC. In this second lab on computer programming, students are asked again to complete 10 "hacks" on an existing program. But in this second lab, the challenges are even greater. Students are required to make 10 hacks to a very simple video game. These hacks result in a different outcome than what was originally intended, and students begin to learn code from the inside out! This is a very clever and highly effective way

VEX Go STEM Sprint – Robotics Obstacle Course Engineering | Grade 5
In the Combat Robotics League VEX Go Field Training sprint, students become robotics field engineers as they program a VEX Go robot to navigate a three-obstacle course — writing sequential movement commands, testing against the course, and redesigning their code until the robot completes all three obstacles within the time limit. Set inside the Combat Robotics League narrative, this 1-week sprint introduces Grade 5 students to block-based robot programming with immediate physical feedback.What S

Programming in BASIC, III
This lab is a continuation from Physics: Introduction to Programming in BASIC I and II. In this final lab on computer programming, students are given 5 simple subroutines in BASIC. After writing these out and using them, students will be wanting to explore this further and personalize their programs. Well, that is exactly what this assignment requires! Students are required to write three different programs using the 5 subroutines they have just learned. These 3 programs are: 1.) Electro

Mini Workshop: Sensory Bottles
Rheoscopic fluids were a well known technique to study fluid dynamics in physics. They are used by geologists to study interactions between solid surfaces and running water, they are used by aerospace engineers to study the flow of air around wings. But, computer programmes have driven this art to the recesses of history. However, the art can be seen in sensory bottles. This mini workshop is one that can be used in a small group to show students how to make a sensory bottle they can take home or
