Computer Science Lesson Plan
Class: 6th to 8th, Lesson 30 : Custom Event (Broadcast)

Purpose: Students should learn the usage of programming controls (Motion, Looks, Basic Events, Variables, Operators, Custom Events).

No. of Classes

2 classes for 20 students with 5 computers.

Materials Required

Scratch 3.0.

Prior knowledge

Computational Thinking Skills developed using problem-solving games without instructions. Good knowledge about Sprites, Backdrops, Costumes, Variables and Operators.

Exercises

Exercise:1



1. Create a Program to jump from one Sprite to another Sprite.(Using Broadcast control).

Exercise:2



2. Create a Program by using Clone control (refer clone.avi for sample).

Solutions




Teacher's Instruction
  1. Teachers should teach how to create Variables.
  2. Teachers should teach the usage of Operators.
  3. Teachers should help Students use the Broadcast control and perform various activities which will improve their computational thinking. (For this please refer above mentioned examples - Example Program1 and 2)
