Computer Science and Coding Research Project for STEM and Sub Plans

Created by

"Why do we need to learn this?" Help your computer science students answer this question and more with this STEM research project. Your students will use video and text resources to research why they should learn to code. Then they will create and justify a claim about whether all students should be required to learn the basics of computer science before graduating high school. Get all the Intro to Computer Science resources here and SAVE! The lesson begins with students gathering evidence from

Clean Up The Oil Spill Decision Making Activity

Created by

TnT Lesson Plans

This oil spill activity is perfect for Earth Day. It teaches students how to research engineering design methods to clean up water pollution spills. Students must then synthesize and analyze the information collected. The last step in this activity is for students to take into account the human and environmental impacts of each clean-up method and decide which method is the best one to use to cleanup the spill.Students will complete research on a variety of oil spill clean up methods and use the
