Python Turtle

This is the last “normal” lab I do in my AP Computer Science Principles class. The main goal of this lab is to get the students practical experience with lists. The secondary goal is to give them an example of a code that satisfies the requirements of the Create Task. There are just two problems in this lab, as the codes are significantly more complicated than earlier labs. In this, and all labs posted on TPT, the questions are of my own making, and any similarity to codes/assignments/homework f

AP Computer Science Principles - Pygame Lab (Python)

Created by

After strings, functions, IO, and decisions statements, I find my students need a little bit of a fun assignment, showing them some of the cooler aspects of what they can do with Python. I do this lab, on Pygame, after decision statement but before loops. It would work just as well right after loops, but I try to write the assignment so that loops aren’t “needed”. There are three different codes included. Two showing examples of working infinite runners (one a multi-lane up/down runner and the

AP Computer Science Principles - Strings & Functions Lab (Python)

This particular assignment covers basics of strings and functions. Many of my students tend to struggle a bit with the concept of multiple input/outputs into Python functions (as well as Python scope) so I usually provide three in-class work days for this particular lab. There are four different problems the students need to write code to solve.

AP Computer Science Principles - Battleship Puzzle Project (Python)

Created by

This is the last project that I will do in AP Computer Science Principles, except on the rare occasion that we have more than one or two classes after AP exams are completed. This is meant to be a challenging puzzle and have functions that satisfy the requirements of the Create Task exam. I have students do practice questions from the AP based on this code (or the last Lists Lab codes). They obviously cannot use this for their Create Task code, but I feel like giving them additional examples of

AP Computer Science Principles - Loops Lab (Python)

Created by

This lab covers while loops and for loops in Python. Lists are the next topic, so they are avoided in the context of loops here. Instead the focus is on combining loops, if statements, and functions to make a few complete codes. In this, and all labs posted on TPT, the questions are of my own making, and any similarity to codes/assignments/homework found anywhere else is by chance. Python code showing possible acceptable codes satisfying the program requirements is included. More notes about my

AP Computer Science Principles - Functions, Decisions, Loops Project (Python)

Created by

This project is meant to combine IO, functions, decision statement, and loops into a couple of major codes. The first requires the use of Pygame, while the second requires quite a bit of logic. I typically give the students a whole class week to work on these.
