Computer Science - Introducing Return Functions - Class Activity
This 45-50 minute activity introduces the idea of functions that accept parameters and return a value. It is used well with code.org curriculum to introduce Unit 7, but can be used in any curriculum to introduce functions, parameters, and/or return values. It uses a system I've found to work well by drawing a function as a "box" that accepts information, processes, and returns a value. It's mostly unplugged, so students don't need a computer, but may find one useful for calculations and light

Wave Properties Lab
This is a lab sheet for a lab to help students investigate the properties of sound waves, as well as how those properties affect the physical wave. This lab requires student access to a device with a microphone (laptops, chromebooks, ipads, even phones work just fine). Students will experiment making different types of sounds into an online oscilloscope (wave viewer), and analyse the physical effects the changes in sound have on the waves they produce. Students will then use their data to predic
