Particle Engine Using ArrayLists in Java
By Howlin' Husky Math Games
A particle engine is a group of dots that work together to display an effect on the screen. This lab features effects for rain, fireworks, bubbles, and falling sand.
Particle Engine Using ArrayLists in Java is designed to be an extension lab for ArrayLists (Unit 7) in AP Computer Science. This lab can be used for this purpose or it can be used for an activity for after the AP exam.
- Use ArrayList to create a particle engine that can make the following effects:
Rainfall
Fireworks
Bubbles
Sand Falling (and piling up)
- Full student manual allows activity to be student or teacher run.
- Fully coded answer key provided.
- Skeleton code can be given to students to make coding the environment easier.

Conditional Logic -if Statements: Programming in Java Course Lesson 6
By Howlin' Husky Math Games
Hello and welcome!
Are you math teacher and have been thrown into teaching a computer science course? Now you have NO IDEA where to start! Have you taught computer science, but want to try something else? Math and computer science are related, but are not the same!
I have your back. I've been teaching math and computer science, including APCSP, APCSA, and Data Structures for almost two decades. I also teach an introduction course. This is part of the course I made up for my intro students. I have a BS in computer science and know what students need to know.
This is part 6 of an introductory Programming in Java course. These lessons are meant to be done over a few days; the idea is to get students doing cool stuff as fast as possible. With Java, that is NOT an easy task.
Topics:
Programming in Java 6: Conditional Logic- if Statements
How to make and use an if
the else statements
the else if statement
nested if and compound logic
pseudocode and logic errors
All lessons will come with the following:
a pdf slideshow
a pacing guide with hints for teaching the section and common student
errors
an assignment, differentiated with three different levels!
an answer key in pdf form
an answer key in .java form
Depending on your style, you could go over the slides as a group, then let students play around. Or you could just give them the slides and assignment and let them go.
Let students explore and make mistakes. Let them talk to each other and discuss their approaches. Programming takes a lot of trial and error and collaboration.
Welcome to the world of programming! It's going to be a blast!

How'd You Make That!? Programming in Java Lab: Pong!
By Howlin' Husky Math Games
Looking for a fun and engaging way to teach Java programming? Look no further than "How'd You Make That!? Java Programming Labs: Pong! Designed with increasing levels of difficulty, this lab helps students develop their coding skills step-by-step. Students will create the classic game of Pong!
In Bounce Beginner, students will use the code provided to create the game. Much of the background coding has been done for them so they will be concentrating on creating and using objects and designing the game. To complete this level students need to understand how to use methods and create objects. If you are following my year long curriculum, students should be about to Java 7: Looping Statements.
At the Paddle Pupil level, students will fill in some provided classes and create their own versions. Some of the lowest level code has been done for them, but they will write most of the game with a skeleton. To complete this level students need to understand anything from the Bounce Beginner level in addition to how to create objects and pass parameters. If you are following my year long curriculum, students should be about to Java 10: Advanced Techniques
At the Court Champion level, students will create the game from scratch. This requires them to understand Timers, collision, and how use graphics. Students will be given general direction, but creating the game will mostly be up to them. To complete this level students need to understand anything from the Paddle Pupil level in addition to Timers, collision, and basic use of the extends keyword. If you are following my year long curriculum, students should be about to Java 18: Collision Detection

This lab is fully equipped with an answer key, a basic lab manual for teachers, and a student guide that walks students through each level. Perfect for high school computer science classes or AP Computer Science A, this resource is ideal for both in-class instruction and independent learning.
Whether you’re teaching Java basics, game development, or want to reinforce key concepts like classes, objects, and inheritance, this lab offers everything you need for an engaging and productive lesson.
