Students will be able to use broadcast messages to trigger action between sprites in a program.
Students will be able to plan and animate a story using events and sequences.
Students will be able to explain that a loop repeats a command or a set of commands and interpret the control flow of a program.
Students will be able to explain that a loop repeats one or more instructions, and use loops in Scratch.
Students will be able to decompose a program to debug and make the program run as intended.
Students will be able to create an animated reading of a poem using events and loops. This version of the lesson is focused on Computer Science concepts.
Students will be able to create a program using different loops and compare the advantages and disadvantages of each loop algorithm.
Students will be able to explain what a conditional is in programming and create a program that uses if/then blocks.
Students will be able to explain what a conditional is and use them in a program.
Students will be able to create a program using conditionals.
Students will be able to explain what an “if/then/else” conditional is and use it in a program.
Students will be able to implement the mechanics of a platform game for a player to navigate, use keyboard events to add player movement, and use a forever loop to check and respond to game conditions. Students will debug and improve their programs.
Students will be able to explain what a variable is and create and change the value of a variable in a program.
Students will be able to use comparison operators as the condition in an if/else block, and use numbers and variables as values in a comparison operator.
Students will be able to create an I-Spy style activity using variables and lists in Scratch.
Students will be able to use drawing tools to design their own race car and race track, then program a racing game that tracks players’ scores using conditionals, variables, and lists.
