About
Curriculum resources and professional learning for science teachers to integrate computer science and computational thinking into science instruction. Science researchers regularly use computational thinking to make sense of data and to program instruments. As a core science and engineering practice, visit this page for resources on how to integrate computational thinking and coding into your science instructional practices.
​
The California Subject Matter Project, SoCal Heat Hub, and the San Diego Science Project are pleased to share these professional learning resources designed to build K–12 teachers’ understanding and skills in designing and implementing student-centered assessment systems aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
Computer Science Integration Program
The Computer Science Integration Program was a 2 year funded effort to support teachers with exploring how to integrate computer science into science instructional units that used climate and/or environmental based anchoring phenomena.
