In this lesson, we learn about Functions. Functions let us break our program into different parts that we can organize and reuse however we like. Functions are the main building block of complex Python programs.
Students will be able to:
In this lesson, we dive deeper into the concept of functions by exploring how to use parameters.
Students will be able to:
In this lesson, we explore where variables exist and what the difference is between a local and global variable.
Students will be able to:
In this lesson, students explore functions with return values and deepen their understanding of and ability to use functions.
Students will be able to:
In this lesson, students explore Python’s way of handling errors with exceptions.
Students will be able to:
In this lesson, students review content with a 15 question Unit Quiz.
Students will be able to:
Students will learn how indexing can be used to specify a specific character in a string based on location.
Students will be able to:
Students will learn how slicing allows them to select multiple string values at once from a given string.
Students will be able to:
In Python, strings have the property of “immutability” which means they cannot be mutated or changed. You can assign strings to variables, and reassign new strings to the same variable, but individual characters within a string cannot be reassigned.
Students will be able to:
In this lesson, students will look at the use of for loops with strings. Since both string indices and for loops index at zero, the len value can be used to go through strings in a for loop. Indicies don’t need to be explicitly used. The syntax for character in my_string can be used to go through a for loop one character at a time.
Students will be able to:
In this lesson, students will see how the in keyword can be used in an if statement to see if a particular letter or substring is in a string.
Students will be able to:
in keyword to check if a character is in a stringIn this lesson, students will learn about string methods. Methods are basically functions that you call on objects and can be used to alter our strings in different ways.
Students will be able to:
In this lesson, students review content with a 20 question Unit Quiz.
Students will be able to:
Students will have an opportunity to apply many of the concepts they’ve learned so far to create a game where the user can compete against the computer to earn the high score.
Students will be able to:
In this lesson, students will learn about and practice using tuples. A tuple is a heterogenous, immutable data type that stores an ordered sequence of things that can be accessed using indices.
Students will be able to:
In this lesson, students will learn about their second data structure, lists. A list is a mutable, heterogeneous data type that stores an ordered sequence of things.
Students will be able to:
In this lesson, students will learn how lists can be iterated over in a similar way to strings.
Students will be able to:
Methods, in general, are like functions that can be called on objects. Students have seen previously how string methods are called on strings. In this lesson, students will learn about the various list methods that can be called on lists!
Students will be able to:
In this lesson, students review content with a 15 question Unit Quiz.
Students will be able to:
In this lesson, students will learn how 2d lists are stored and how to use indexing and slicing to extract specific items from a list of lists.
Students will be able to:
In this lesson, students will learn how to use list comprehensions to alter the items in a list with one line of code.
Students will be able to:
In this lesson, students will learn how packing and unpacking makes assigning variables to list items very easy and quick.
Students will be able to:
In this lesson, students will see how dictionaries differ from other data structures and why they are useful.
Students will be able to:
In this lesson, students review content with a 15 question Unit Quiz.
Students will be able to:
Students will have an opportunity to apply many of the concepts they’ve learned so far to create a word-guessing game.
Students will be able to:
This lesson outline focuses on explaining the concepts and importance of file I/O without delving into coding syntax. It provides a foundation for students to understand the fundamentals before diving into the actual coding aspects in subsequent lessons.
Students will be able to:
In this lesson, students learn how to read all or a given number of characters from a file using Python.
Students will be able to
open() function to open a file in read mode and the close() method to close the file properly.read() method and store them in a variableFileNotFoundError, when attempting to read a file.In this lesson, students learn how to use the readline() method to read lines from a file.
Students will be able to:
readline() method in Python for reading lines from a file.readline() to read a single line at a time.readline().readline().readline() method to solve practical problems and perform operations on each line read from a file.In this lesson, students learn how to use the readlines() method in Python to read multiple lines from a file, and practice performing various operations and manipulations on the line
Students will be able to:
readlines() method in Python.readlines().readlines() and perform operations on each line.readlines() in file handling scenarios.In this lesson, students learn how to write to existing files. They will explore two modes: “w” for overwriting a file and “a” for appending to a file.
Students will be able to:
In this lesson, students learn how to manipulate the file pointer position using the seek() method in Python. They will explore how seek() can be used to move the pointer to a specific location within a file, enabling reading and writing operations at desired positions.
Students will be able to:
seek() method to move the file pointer to a specific position within a file.seek() operations.In this lesson, we will define what classes and objects are and learn how to break code down in this structure. They will learn how to use the init method to give attributes to objects.
SWBAT define class and object as well as create them inside their programs.
SWBAT create an init method to give attributes to objects.
In this lesson, we will begin defining and calling methods on objects.
SWBAT create methods inside class definitions and call them on objects.
In this lesson, we will learn how to override the built-in methods repr and eq in order to define how the object will create a string representation of itself and define equivalence for a specific class.
SWBAT override the repr method to define how the object will create a string representation of itself.
SWBAT override the eq method to define equivalence for this specific class.
In this lesson, students will learn about operator overloading and how mathematical methods can be redefined by overriding their method in the class definition.
SWBAT override mathematical operators to redefine the way mathematical functions are performed.
In this lesson, students will learn about the difference between class and instance variables and how they are located.
SWBAT describe the differences between class and instance variables.
In this lesson, students will explore the careers available in computer science and learn how bias can affect computer programs.
Students will explore different computer science careers and opportunities.
Students will learn how bias can affect computer programs.
In this lesson, students begin their career planning journeys. Students perform a self-assessment, explore a variety of career options, and determine the skills or education needed to obtain careers they want to pursue.
