4 February - 10 February

Edisons (Robotics)

Scratch (Coding)

Achieved

Can explain what the buttons do

Turn the sound and lights on/off

Get the robot to move forwards and backwards

Change backgrounds

Sprite manipulation

• Use at least two sprites

• Move them at least one

• Change their costumes (colour)

• Make the sprite smaller and/or bigger

• Add a speech or thought bubble

Some thought has gone into timings of costume/ background/ speech/ etc.

Can use show/hide correctly

At least one 1 minute in length

Merit

PLUS :

Drive the robot in a range of directions, including turning in a range of angles

Correctly control the movement and speed of the robot under a series of conditions / routes

Sprite Manipulation

• Move them by varying step size, direction, speed, and position on screen)

• Change the orientation of the sprite (in costume)

• Develop a conversation between two sprites

Use a range of special effects and sounds, including adding their own sounds

Incorporates repeats and waits into code

Most of the timings are correctly done and in a logical order

At least 1.5  minutes in length

Excellence

PLUS:

Correctly complete the mini maze

Develop your own complex route and correctly navigate it, using the correct codes

PLUS:

Sprite manipulation

• Accounts for viewing length of conversation / thought bubbles)

Incorporates loops, “if/then” statements

At least 2 minutes in length

Activity is cohesive and makes sense

Does at least two of these

Add timers/counters that work

Utilise the sensing codes to detect colours / contact between sprites

Incorporate user input (eg. type answer to questions) and evaluate the responses
