Students celebrate Earth Day by learning about the history of Earth Day and the issues surrounding deforestation. Then, they use the Engineering Design Process (EDP) to code Hopper in a simulation of planting seeds in a reforestation project.

Learning Objectives

-Learn about the importance of trees in our environment, the causes of deforestation and, the reforestation process.

-Use the Engineering Design Process (EDP) when coding Hopper to simulate planting seeds in an area of land given specific parameters.

-Plot points on a Cartesian plane where seeds are planted and list their coordinates.
