Code.org is a great way to learn coding and have fun at the same time

Watch this video before you start

Now you can solve the puzzles. This is taken from Course C on code.org, but this section (lesson 8) particularly focus on using repeat blocks.

Note : to complete the tasks, make sure that you use the repeat tool.

Why do you think that this is so important?

Are you a teacher using Google Classroom?

You can sign in and assign courses to your classes. You are then able to track students progress. You can display the progress chart on the board.

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.

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

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.

More examples

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).

Now open Scratch and script the code below

Link to Scratch : https://scratch.mit.edu/

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).

Creating a news article about coastal erosion

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

Stokes Bay, Gosport 2023

Think about : How can we protect Stokes Bay?

Task : Create a news article about coastal erosion

This could be about an event that has happened, a potential danger or something that is being done to prevent coastal erosion (sea wall).

Software : you could use MS Publisher or Google Docs (article template).

What makes a great article?

Look at this example below.

What is in the article above?

A punchy headline with large text, i.e. What a foot of sea level rise could mean for San Diego

A sub headline, i.e. it’s getting to the point where in somebody’s lifetime, they will notice the difference

A dramatic picture showing the effects of coastal erosion

A story

It is well laid out

Extra : create a mast (logo) for your newpaper

Task : Coastal Erosion Screening Tool

Coastal Erosion Screening Tool : https://coastal.climatecentral.org/

An interactive map showing areas threatened by sea level rise.

You can choose your home town and see how rising sea levels make an impact.

Task : The Ocean Game

The sea is rising; can you save your town

Task 2 Moral Question

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:

Reason for choice:

Lesson Objective : Use the marketing mix to promote a summer rock concert

Know the 4 P’s and what they do.

The 4 P’s also known as The Marketing Mix

The 4 Peas

The marketing mix deals with the way in which a business uses price, product, distribution and promotion to market and sell its product.

The marketing mix is often referred to as the “Four P’s” – since the most important elements of marketing are concerned with:

• Product – the product (or service) that the customer obtains
• Price – how much the customer pays for the product
• Place – how the product is distributed to the customer
• Promotion – how the customer is found and persuaded to buy the product

Task

Find a product online – preferably one you like 

Try and explain how the 4 P’s can be applied to your chosen product.

For example, Coca-Cola

Price

Individual – £1

Multi-pack (4) – £3.50

Product

Coca-Cola Glass bottle limited edition. 

Vintage style bottle, metal lid.

Promotion

Product to be sold as:

1.  a multi-pack 12 bottles (£7)
2. Meal Deal

Place

1. Supermarkets
2. Bars, pubs, restaurants.

Task 2 – Music Festival ideas – 5 minutes

Jot down your ideas on an A4 paper (teacher to provide)

Points to help you think:

1. What is the NAME of your festival?
2. Which venue should you use for your festival?
3. Who is your ideal audience?
4. What is your ideal target market?
5. What will you sell in the stalls? (food, drink, clothes, etc)
6. What will the attractions include? (how many stages, singers, etc.)
7. How many tickets do you need to sell to ‘Break Even’ 
8. How many tickets will you need to sell to make a profit?
9. How will you make most profit?

Task 3

Make a promotional poster about your music festival.

You can choose your genre of music

Include your logo

https://www.freelogodesign.org/ (online generator) 

https://pixlr.com/x/#editor (Make it yourself)

Examples

1. Doownload poster

What do you think of this poster?

Who is the target audience?

Whatr are the good features?

What is not do good?

Student responses to the Download Poster

Too dark, not enough colour. Can’t read it. Some of the band names are too small.

Not showing any other festival

It doesn’t really feel like a festival

The logo is distinctive

For somebody who likes the above bands, it is intersting and really shows who is playing
