Grades IV‑VI

I. Understanding, analyzing and solving problems. The student:

2) formulates and writes in the form of algorithms commands consisting of:

c) controlling the robot or object on the screen;

3) distinguishes basic steps in algorithmic problem solving: determination of the problem and goal to be achieved, analysis of the problem situation, developing a solution, checking the problem solution for example data, writing the solution in the form of a diagram or program.

II. Programming and solving problems with the use of computer and other digital devices. The student:

1) designs, creates and writes in a visual programming language:

a) ideas of stories and solutions to problems, including simple algorithms using sequential, conditional and iterative commands and events,    
b) a simple program that controls a robot or other object on the computer screen;

Introductionme75aa47e501c04bf_1528450127855_0Introduction

Imagine a situation in which a bus comes to the bus stopbus stopbus stop and passengers get on it. Create a simple storystorystory about the sprite that gets on the bus.

Consider what actionsactionsactions the sprite should perform.

Select the appropriate backdrop and modify it according to your idea.

Procedureme75aa47e501c04bf_1528446435040_0Procedure

To make sure that your work on writing a script runs smoothly, think the consecutive steps over. Before you start writing a script, think about what the sprite at the bus stop should do, and what should be included in the script belonging to the bus‑sprite. It's always worth writing your ideas on a piece of paper or in a text file.me75aa47e501c04bf_1527752256679_0To make sure that your work on writing a script runs smoothly, think the consecutive steps over.

It's always worth writing your ideas on a piece of paper or in a text file.

Task 1

Use the selected backdrop. Place the bus at the starting position. After driving the entire route, the bus will disappear from the view.

Task 2

Place the sprite at the bus stop. When the bus comes to the bus stopbus stopbus stop, it has to stop. The sprite does not get on the bus yet.

Sample background:

[Illustration 1]

Tip:

The bus can move if it does not touch the cat‑sprite. You can use the block repeat until ... and the sensorsensorsensor touching ... .

[Illustration 2]

Task 3

The sprite gets on the bus. The bus leaves.

Tip:

You can solve the problem of getting the sprite on the bus in various ways. For example, the approaching bus broadcasts a message that you can get on it. The sprite receives the message and gets on the bus.

While watching a slideshow, you can learn one of the possible solutions.

Task 4

Your sprite can already get on the bus. But not every bus is suitable for him. Create a script in which several buses come, but the sprite will only get on the one that has the right number.me75aa47e501c04bf_1527752263647_0Your sprite can already get on the bus.
