did you do.....

Last Year:

Basic Understanding of scratch programming and create simple
programs

Last Term:
Able to apply programming skills for robotics

GL/Challenge Question

Students to explore spaceship journey and explain how can they create a
game using the space elements

Starter-
Challenge

(CLIPS STRATERGY) :
Connect:

Blast Off! Imagine: Take your students on a spaceship
journey! Ask them to imagine exploring
planets, collecting space rocks, and facing alien
encounters. What elements would make their space
adventure game exciting? Let them brainstorm
ideas.

Lesson Objectives
Explain how to use variables and operators to add scores and create challenges in
their Scratch projects.

Success Criteria

Student RAG

At

I can add a simple variable "score" to their Scratch
projects.

Above

Implement basic conditional statements to change game
mechanics based on the score.

Above +

I can use sensing and operators to design the game

Literacy Focus

Explore about spaceship journey and discuss the elements with the peer

Real Life Links

Brainstorm ways in which scores and challenges could be used in future technologies to
improve efficiency, learning, or even everyday tasks.

Introduction

Open Scratch and Prepare: Launch Scratch on your computer
and project it onto the screen for everyone to see. Open a new
project and show them the basic elements like a spaceship
sprite and a backdrop with stars.

Solve the given worksheet.

Self Assessment: Check your level of understanding

Level 1: If you are able to answer task 1

Level 2: If you are able to answer task 2

Level 3: If you are able to answer task 3 CHALLENGE TASK

Main Task

Challenge: Tasks

Task 1
Rock Collector GAME : Students add score values to
small rock =1

TASK 2

•The source of power (battery/adapter)
•

.

Level Up! Design the game to increase difficulty
adding small and medium rocks with 1 and 2 points
for each

TASK 3

Students add different values to different space rocks
for varied points. E.g., small rocks = 1-point, medium
rocks = 2 points, and large rocks = 3 points.

EXTENSION
TASK

Bonus Challenge

Add sounds for collecting each rock type!

Change the spaceship's speed based on the score
(e.g., higher score = faster!).

Literacy link

Students will be able to research and discuss about the
Space journey and the elements (peer learning)
