  • 7.9) Custom Events
  • 7.12) Variables

    • Prior knowledge

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

    Exercises

    Exercise:1


    1. Create a story in Scratch, with your own thoughts (You should try to use all the controls in the code block palate).

    Solutions



    Teacher's Instruction
    1. Teachers should teach how to create Variables.
    2. Teachers should teach how to use Operators.
    3. Teachers can give computational thinking activities to learn to use Broadcast control before giving this exercise.
    4. Motivate the student to create the algorithm of the story.
