Introduction to Programming with Scratch
Part 2: Selection

This resource is the second in a series of five lessons that introduces students to the concepts of programming in Scratch.

This resource is perfect for introducing students to the critical programming concept of selection. Designed for KS3 learners, this resource combines a teacher PowerPoint with a student workbook, offering clear theoretical explanations followed by engaging, hands-on Scratch activities. By using real-world examples and interactive coding tasks, students learn how to make decisions in programming using if-else statements, logic operators, and user inputs.

What’s Included?

Teacher PowerPoint:
Engaging slides with step-by-step instructions to teach the concept of selection.
Interactive starter activity (Guess Who?) to introduce the decision-making process.
Visual aids and real-world analogies to explain logic operators and conditional statements.

Student Workbook:
Guided activities aligned with the PowerPoint, ensuring a seamless learning experience.
Sections for students to document their understanding and evidence their coding progress with screenshots.
Advanced challenges and extensions to stretch learners’ skills further.

Practical Scratch Programming Tasks:

  • Task 1: You Shall Not Pass(word) – Students create a password-protected program using conditional logic.
  • Task 2: Let’s Get Quizzical – Develop a quiz using logic operators to process user inputs.
  • Task 3: Bounce – Use conditional statements to control sprite behavior.
  • Task 4: Bubble Pop! – Debug and fix a broken game using knowledge of selection.
  • Task 5: Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? – Combine sequencing and selection to build a full quiz game.

How This Resource Supports Educators

Simplifies Complex Concepts:
Detailed explanations and visuals break down the concept of selection, making it accessible for all teachers, including those teaching outside their specialism.

Engages Students with Interactive Learning:
By blending theory with practical Scratch tasks, students actively apply what they learn, fostering deeper understanding and retention.

Supports Differentiated Learning:
The range of tasks accommodates different abilities, from foundational understanding to advanced problem-solving.

Promotes Key Skills:
