CS Applications Java
Course Description
In this course, students will apply computer science concepts using the Java programming language. Students will develop computational thinking skills by building projects, such as a fitness tracker, basic calculator, and a music application, that incorporate loops, objects, methods, and classes. Digital Citizenship and STEM Career lessons explore security threats and measures and a variety of careers. By the end of this course, students will have practiced the computational thinking and analytical skills needed to prepare for AP Computer Science.
Course Learning Goals
Each lesson plan is designed to enable students to achieve specific learning outcomes related to course aligned computer science competencies. For example, at the end of this course students will be able to:
Construct and manipulate values by implementing arithmetic operators and mathematical methods.
Seek and incorporate feedback to refine a program.
Apply knowledge of conditionals to create a software program that serves a given purpose.
Establish classes in code to create objects with specific attributes.
Explain how physical security measures protect electronic devices and information.
