Coding Gravity
[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. |
Punnett Square Generator
[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. |
Exploring Collisions
[High School, 2-4 Hours] Students use JavaScript graphics to create their own elastic collision simulation using conservation of momentum and kinetic energy equations. |
Bouncing Ball Simulation
[High School, 2-4 Hours] Students create a bouncing ball simulation in JavaScript, complete with gravity and collisions! |
