Interactive : allowing a two-way flow of information between a computer and a computer-user; responding to a user’s input.
We are going to make a presentation, but this time, it will require user input for it to work. We’ll make a quiz.
Lesson Objective : Make a quiz using presentation software (e.g. PowerPoint, Google Slides)
Add questions and 4 possible answers
Add shapes and hyperlink them to relevant slides
Dawlish Sea Wall Collapse 2014
2014 : Dawlish. The main rail line to the South West of England falls into the sea.
2023 Update on the sea wall
Task : Create a quiz about coastal erosion using Google Slides
1. Open a new presentation and create an introduction slide (slide 1)
2. Add a new slide (slide 2) and add a question and four possible answers.
For the answers, add 4 shapes and add text
3. Add another slides (slide 3). This is the “Correct” slide.
Add a button (shape) and text which will link to the next question.
4. Add another slides (slide 4). This is the “Incorrect” slide.
5. Link the slides
On Google Slides, select the shape you want to link on.
Go to Insert > Link
Enter the slide number that you want to link on. Select that slide and press Apply.
6. Now test the slideshow. Trial correct and wrong answers. Ask someone else to test.
7. Make changes and add more questions
Success Criteria
1. I can open Google Sldies
2. I can create slide 1 (Splash Screen)
3. I can create a question slide
4. I can create an “incorrect” slide
5. I can create a “correct” slide
6. I can create at least one link
7. I can create 2 or more links
8. My Quiz has a nice design
9. I have tested the quiz
10. I can make a second question
Linking on MS PowerPoint
Go back to the question slide and select the correct shapes (right click and choose link). Link the shape to the correct slide.
Go back to the question slide and select an icorrect shape (right click and choose link). Link it to the incorrect slide. Do this with all the other 3 incorrect shapes.
Test that it works. Fix any issues that you may have.
Change text colours, fonts and size. Format your shapes, change colours, etc.
Lesson Objective : Use flowcharts to create mini programs. This will help us understand the link between flowcharts and coding.
Use Conditional Statements : if-then-else
Using blocks from sensing (light blue) operators (green)
Flowcharts are a great way to help us plan for coding. To learn more about how they relate, you will be given a set of flowcharts that you will use to script in Scratch.
Example
First, I will give you a flowchart and then the script.
In the flowchart below, you will ask the user for the temperature (input). If the temperature is less than 32, you will print, below freezing (output).
Note : I have deleted the cat sprite and replaced it with a wizard. I also changed the background. This is optional but please do not spend more than a couple of minutes deciding.
Here is the code that you need to script. You will need to use the sections, sensing (light blue) and operators (green).
If the user enters a number below 32, then the wizard will say below freezing, else he will say above freezing
Your task : Use the following flowcharts to make script code in Scratch (solution shown for flow chart 1 only).

A self-driving car is travelling towards a zebra crossing. There are three people on the crossing on the cars side, and one person on the crossing on the other side.
The car’s brakes fail. The computer must decide whether to continue on the left of the road, potentially injuring people, or turn right, potentially injuring one person.
(a) Choose whether you would program the car to;
stay in the left lane
or switch to the right lane.
Explain why you made this choice.
Left lane or right lane:
Reason for choice:
(b) The car now encounters a situation where it has the following choice:
Keep moving forward and risk running over a pigeon
Turn to avoid the pigeon, mount the kerb and burst the car tyre.
Choose whether you would program the car to keep moving forward or turn to avoid the pigeon. Explain why you made this choice.
Keep moving forward, or turn and avoid the pigeon:
