C3.1 Solve problems and create computational representations of mathematical situations by writing and executing code, including code that involves the analysis of data in order to inform and communicate decisions.

Activity 1: Data in a Table


As part of the physical education class, students are asked to determine their resting pulse rate following strenuous physical activity. Have students write a code so that a table is created based on resting and post activity pulse rates and allow for multiple results to be recorded.

Activity 2: Energy Consumption


Write code for microcontrollers equipped with sensors to take continuous data related to energy consumption in the school (for example, room temperature, number of hours lights are on, etc.) for analysis and to identify environmentally responsible improvements.

Note: If microcontrollers are not available, it is possible to write code to automate the entry of quantitative and qualitative data manually in order to achieve the same objective.
