Week 2: Conditionals & Control Flow
Week 2: Conditionals & Control Flow
Unit: Conditionals & Control Flow
This week you will learn how programs make decisions using conditionals. You’ll add keyboard controls and wall detection to your maze game, practice conditional logic in Scratch and on paper with flow diagrams, and discover how loops let you repeat actions efficiently.
Weekly Schedule
| Day | Date | Topic | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | Mon 3/23 | User Input & Conditionals | Watch an Edpuzzle on events and user input, add keyboard controls to your maze, and use conditionals to make sprites bounce off walls. |
| 7 | Tue 3/24 | Flocabulary: Conditionals | Complete the Flocabulary lesson on Coding: Conditionals — watch the video, play the vocab game, and finish the quiz and read & respond activities. |
| 8 | Wed 3/25 | Flow Diagrams | Complete an offline flow diagram activity to map out conditional logic using yes/no decisions on paper. |
| 9 | Thu 3/26 | Loops | Watch a video introduction to loops, practice loops on Code.org, and use loops to make Scratch code more efficient. |
| 10 | Fri 3/27 | Week 2 Wrap-Up | Review conditionals, loops, and control flow. Finish any incomplete work and reflect on what you’ve learned. |
