SCRATCH 3.0

Scratch is an educational programming language and multimedia authoring tool that can be used by students, scholars, teachers, and parents for a range of educational and entertainment constructivist projects from math and science projects and others.

Simple games can be made with it. Playing with the existing projects available on the Scratch website, or modifying and testing any modification without saving it requires no online registration.

Version 3 of Scratch is currently available online and as a desktop software.

The first version of Scratch was developed in 2003 by the Lifelong Kindergarten group, led by Mitchel Resnick, at the MIT Media Lab.

3. Create...

4. Send to the school platform (pou session 2).

SESSION 3

In the scratch website you can search for lots of examples in order to improve your level and take ideas.

             https://scratch.mit.edu/starter_projects/


1. Try and understand the next file   Teens at the Castle.sb2  to produce a story with different backgrounds.   

2. Listen to the explanation:  tutorial- "Crea una història"

3. Create a story

4. Send to the school platform (pou session 3).




SESSION 4

Try to understand what the following program does:

Position:
X Horizontal position. From -240 (left) to 240 (right).
Y Vertical position. From -180 (down) to 180 (up).
Center point   x=0  y=0

Direction:
0º Up
90ºRight
180º Down
270º Left

Complete the program. The cat must walk around all the edges.
Send the file to the platform  (pou session 4).



SESSION 5

Today we've got three sprites: 

We want the hippo catching the cat. When the cat is hunted, it turns to a ghost.

Look at the three sprites code:

Do you know to which sprites these codes belong to?


Try them. Improve the program. After this, send the file to the platform (pou session 5).

SESSION 6 :  Variables and control structures.

A variable is like a "box" where you keep data like numbers to control the program and other important issues. When you control a program with a variable you have to initiate it, change it and control the last value.

Control structures help you to monitor the program's behaviour.
For example: if-then-else ; repeat-until, forever, ...

This is a example of a program controlled by a variable (a). It uses the controlling structure: repeat until.

After the teacher's explanation, try this program. 

Improve it with another sprite. It  must be controled by another variable (b). Use the if-then and  forever structures instead of repeat-until.

Send the file to the platform  (pou session 6).

SESSION 7

Watch the video and try to do the same game. 

Work in groups of 2 or 3 people.

If you want to increase your mark, improve the game by adding music, and counting how many times you have touched the ground, ...
Send the file to the platform  (pou session 7).

Hints:

SESSION 8

Draw a maze with " Paint new backdrop".

Create a game where the bad character chases the good one. Two players are needed. 


You can use dimensional gateways.

Send the file to the platform  (pou session 8).

SPREADSHEET SOFTWARE

Important words:  data, formula, function, graph.

FIRST SESSION :  Open Excel and draw your name in the cells. When you finish, send the file to your POU 's computer subject. 

SECOND SESSION : Make an excel file where it is calculated the average mark of four people and five subjects. Use formulas and the "mitjana" function. 

After this, create a graph with the average of the four students. 

Notice that if you change a mark, everything will get recalculated!!

Upload the file to the platform.

THIRD SESSION :  Make a shopping invoice with excel or calc. For example, you can do a greengrocers' invoice. The total amount depends on the number of kg and the taxes (IVA - VAT).

FOURTH SESSION: Make an excel file which calculates the area of the following objects: square, rectangle, circle. Use the "pi" function.

                 

FIFTH SESSION: Make an excel file which calculates your average mark of five computer exercises. Use a function (promedio, mitjana,... depending on the program you use) in order to calculate it. After this, create a bar and a circle graph with this information.

Remember to improve the file appearance to get a better mark.

SIXTH SESSION: Make an excel file with a graph like the following one.

                       

SEVENTH SESSION: Find out which Spanish soccer team is the 5th best and the number of points. With this information, make an excel graph. Include a title and the two axis titles as well. After this, copy this graph to a word file. Send to the platform ("POU") only the word file.

                                                   

EIGHTH SESSION:  Has E3 a good formula to copy to the other cells?

Improve the formula. Calculate the leftover cells. Improve the appearance.

NINTH SESSION: Make an excel file where it's calculated the average of four subjects. If the mark is less than 5 it must be in red colour (conditional format). By the mark, it must be seen if the subject is approved or failed ( SI function).

                   =SI(E8>4,99;"approved";"failed")

TENTH SESSION: Write five students and their math mark. By the mark, calculate with the SI function its qualification (exc, not, be, sf, in). After this, create a full bar graph with the data.

=SI(J18<5;"IN";SI(J18<6;"SF";SI(J18<7;"BÉ";SI(J18<9;"NT";"EX"))))

ELEVENTH SESSION: Create a sheet that controls all the delays and absences of five pupils during a two weeks period. Use the "compta.si" funcion. After this, create a bar graph with the data (two series).

                     =COMPTA.SI(D8:N8;"a")

TWELFTH SESSION: Write 30 random numbers from 1 to 9. Calculate their absolute frequencies. After this, calculate with functions other statistical measures. To finish, create a bar graph to represent numbers (1-9) and their frequencies.

                     =COMPTA.SI($D$5:$H$10;"1")

USING THE SPELLING CHECKER

It is very important to deliver your work without any spelling mistakes. 

Your work may be very good but if you make some spelling mistakes you will fail !!

Therefore, it's a good idea to use the spelling checker in your schoolwork.

HOW TO ??

1. Select your text.

2. Go to Review Menu.

3. Select:  Language. 

4. Select:  Set  Language  (select language you want!). Say OK.

5. If a word is underlined red, it means there could be a spelling mistake. You should click the spelling and grammar button.

6. Choose ignore  (don't correct this mistake)  or change (correct this mistake with the word suggested by the program) or you can choose the correct word and click change to solve the problem

.

LET'S ORGANISE !!

We should organise and save our files.

Avoid forgetting your homework by storing it in the cloud!!

To do this, you can use for example a Google account.

Create a google account: domname(1)surname(3)@gmail.com

After creating your google account, you have to create the folder structure that you need this year in google drive.

Remember that a google account offers you email and others services.

LET'S BEGIN WITH SOME VOCABULARY !!
