Coding with Science

Computer work has become a big part of doing science, and knowing how to code has become an increasingly valuable skill for scientists. In this book, readers combine six basic coding ideas—algorithms, sequences, loops, variables, branching, and decomposition—with science experiments and tests in an age-appropriate and interesting way. Three screen-free, science-focused activities encourage understanding of each core concept as well as get readers working as a team. A concluding puzzle gets readers' coding brains working even more!
