Problem Solving and Teamwork - johnfraserss/ICS3U GitHub Wiki

Create teams of 2-3 people. In these teams you will be coming up with a lesson based on a randomly assigned topic (see the table below).

The expected length of your lesson is 25-35 minutes. These will be completed at the beginning of the class on the date you are assigned.

Your lesson should include:

• A presentation, and
• An interactive element (activity of some sort) that aligns with the work presented (other than a Kahoot quiz).

Group members	Topic
	(01) Different problem solving strategies including: stepwise refinement, divide and conquer, working backwards, extreme cases, tables and charts, and trial and error. (B1.1)
	(02) Identify groups and programs that are available to support students who are interested in pursuing non-traditional career choices related to information systems and computer science. (D3.4)
	(03) What the phases, milestones, and products that are required in a typical software development life cycle, and how to use them. (B4.1)
	(04) What the negative effects are of computers on the environment and on human health. (D1.1)
	(05) A government agency and a community partner that provide resources and guidance for environmental stewardship and a detailed analysis of what they are actually doing (not just based on their own website data). (D1.4)
	(06) An area of collaborative research between computer science and another field, and how the field would be different if computer science was not involved. (D2.2)
	(07) An in-depth detailed comparison between source code and machine code. (C3.3)
	(08) An in-depth detailed comparison between functions of applications, programming languages, and operating systems. (C3.5)
	(09) An in-depth detailed comparison and analysis between interpreters and compilers. (C3.4)
	(10) How computers internally represent data, how to use the ASCII table, and how to convert the data (binary/hexadecimal) into numbers we can understand (decimal) more easily. (A1.2)
	(11) Procedures to safeguard data and programs from malware, as well as demonstrating a thorough system protection plan. (C2.2)

Presentation dates will start at approximately midterm. See your teacher for specific presentation dates.

NOTE: If there are any issues with your scheduled date of presentation, you must advise the week prior in order to set up a different date.

There will be interim submissions required about the status of your project. See your teacher for how this will be completed.

For the above tasks, complete the following regarding citations:

• Cite your work using IEEE format.
• Cite all images used. You can provide a list of hyperlinks to the images used.
• Keep a copy of your notes, as they might be requested in the future.

Please see the due dates page for more details on when this is due and how to submit your work.
