Variables
In simple words, how would you describe what sensing blocks help your sprite do?
Sensing blocks help your sprite know what's happening around it. They make your sprite clever by letting it see and feel what you're doing in the game or story.
Operators are used most commonly with ________
Variables
How many conditional blocks are in scratch
3
Loops are useful because it allows less ______ for the same program
Blocks
Can you give an example of when you might use a variable?
You can use a variable when you want to define a certain thing or object, and you can even change it overtime.
Name one type of sensing block (What it does)
Color, Touch, Border, etc
What are "operators" in Scratch?
"Operators" in Scratch are like magical symbols that help your sprites with math. They let your sprites add, subtract, multiply, and do other math stuff.
What is an "if-then" rule in Scratch?
"If-then" rules in Scratch are like instructions that tell your sprite what to do when something happens. It's like saying, "If this happens, then do that!"
What is a loop with a condition called?
Repeat until
In scratch programming variables can be shown on the ______
Screen
Give an example of how a sensing block could be used.
You could use it to sense something in a game, you could use it when touching another player (answers may vary)
How do operators make math easier for your sprite?
Operators do the math for your sprite. If your sprite needs to add numbers, you can use the "+" operator. If it needs to take away, you use the "-" operator, and so on.
If ___, then ___.
How can you use looping to make your sprite move across the screen?
You can use a loop to make your sprite move a little bit at a time, and do it many times. This way, it looks like your sprite is walking or running.
In simple terms, how would you explain what a variable does to a friend?
A variable is like a magic box that holds a lot of different information in itself as it changed overtime.
Where are sensing blocks mainly used in scratch programming
Inside conditionals and operators
What's a simple way to explain what operators do to a friend?
Operators are like helpers that do math for your sprite. They use special symbols to do things like adding or taking away numbers. (Multiple possible answers)
What's a simple way to explain what "if-then" rules do to a friend?
"If-then" rules help your sprite know what to do when something happens. They're like giving your sprite a plan for different situations.
Name all the loops (name 3 get 500 points name more than 3 you get bonus points)
Repeat (#)
Forever
Repeat Until
MORE????
