AP Computer Science Principles - Labs and Projects (Python)

This contains all labs and projects posted on TPT meant for a Python-based AP Computer Science Principles class. Contains labs for Basic I/OStrings & FunctionsDecision StatementsPygameLoopsListsas well as three projects. Each lab and project has a PDF of instructions and .py files corresponding to instructor solution codes.

AP Computer Science Principles - Decisions Lab (Python)

This particular assignment covers decision statements (if, elif, else). There are four different problems the students need to write code to solve. Functions are also required for some of the problems. This is one of the first times students need to do some organized logical thinking, so I tend to give about 3 or 4 class days for this assignment. 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

AP Computer Science Principles - Lists Lab (Python)

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)

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. 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 chan

AP Computer Science Principles - Battleship Puzzle Project (Python)

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)

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)

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. 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.

MARINE BIOLOGY: SEA TURTLES: THE CASE OF PERVASIVE FEMALE NEWBORNS

Students ponder and write about the problem of pervasive female newborns amongst the turtle species. Why aren't there more males being born? Science helps us to try to protect the animals on our planet! Thanks ever so much for visiting.

AP Computer Science Principles - Midterm Pygame Project (Python)

This is my midterm project for AP Computer Science Principles. The students need to create their own game using Pygame and everything learned in class so far. I’ve included a starter Python code, and a code that the students and I developed in class that is the start of a Space Invaders clone. 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.

The One Thing Stopping Jellyfish From taking Over- Mariela Pajuelo and Javier An

Jellyfish are taking over our oceans—can sea turtles help stop them? This engaging TED Talk companion explores the causes of jellyfish overpopulation and the ecological role of leatherback sea turtles. Perfect for high school or college-level biology, marine science, or environmental studies, this resource includes 18 critical thinking questions, an expanded writing prompt, and a relevant debate topic. Students will examine the effects of climate change, overfishing, and pollution while explorin

TED Talk: The Weirdest (and Coolest) Tongues in the Animal Kingdom- Cella Wright

In this captivating TED Talk, the speaker dives into the incredible and often surprising uses of tongues across the animal kingdom. From the alligator snapping turtle’s blood-engorged tongue appendage that acts as a lure, to the lightning-fast chameleon tongue, to the uniquely long and textured tongues of anteaters and nectar bats, this talk reveals the extraordinary versatility of this often-overlooked organ. The speaker explores how various species have adapted their tongues for survival—wheth

Polar Coordinates Mystery Picture

Students will practice plotting polar coordinates to create a mystery picture. Coordinates include radians, degrees, negative angles and radii, and coterminal angles. When points are plotted and connected in order, the resulting picture is a sea turtle. A link to an editable Google Doc is included.
