Introduction to Scratch Programming for Grade 3

1. What is Scratch?
• Scratch is a fun and easy way to learn programming!
• It uses blocks to create stories, games, and animations.
• Drag and drop blocks to make your program, no need to type!
2. The Scratch Interface
• Stage: This is where you see your animations and games.
• Sprites: The characters or objects in your project. You can choose, draw, or upload sprites.
• Blocks Palette: Contains all the coding blocks (like building blocks).
• Script Area: Where you build your code by snapping blocks together.
3. Basic Blocks in Scratch
• Motion: Makes your sprite move (e.g., move 10 steps, turn left, glide).
• Looks: Changes how your sprite looks (e.g., change costume, say something).
• Sound: Adds sound to your project (e.g., play sound, stop sound).
• Events: Blocks that tell your code when to start (e.g., "When green flag clicked").
• Control: Helps you control actions (e.g., wait, repeat, if-then).
4. How to Create a Simple Project
• Step 1: Choose a Sprite from the library or draw your own.
• Step 2: Use the Motion blocks to make the sprite move.
• Step 3: Add a Looks block to make the sprite say something.
• Step 4: Add a Sound block to make your sprite speak or play music.
• Step 5: Press the green flag to run your code!
5. Loops in Scratch
• A loop helps you repeat things over and over.
• Example: Use the "forever" block to make your sprite keep moving.
6. Events: Starting Your Program
• Use the "When green flag clicked" block to start your project.
• You can also use keyboard or mouse click events to control your sprite.
7. Making a Simple Game
• Step 1: Choose two sprites (e.g., a cat and a ball).
• Step 2: Use Motion blocks to move the ball.
• Step 3: Add Events so when the cat touches the ball, something happens.
• Step 4: Add Sound to make the game more fun.
8. Tips for Scratch Programming
• Try new blocks: Experiment with different blocks to see what they do.
• Test your project: Press the green flag often to see if your code works.
• Be creative: You can change backgrounds, add more sprites, and make your project unique.
9. Saving Your Work
• Remember to save your project often by clicking on File > Save now.
10. Project Ideas
• Create a story where your sprite talks to another sprite.
• Make a game where you control a character to catch falling objects.
• Animate a dance party with different sprites and music.
