What to Focus On

  • Programming is giving instructions to a computer.
  • A program is a set of instructions to complete a task.
  • Scratch is a block-based programming language.
  • Stage: The white area where sprites perform actions.
  • Sprite: The character or object that follows instructions.
  • Script Area: Where you join blocks to make a program.
  • Motion (light blue): Move, turn, point in direction.
  • Looks (purple): Say, think, change costume, show/hide.
  • Sound (pink): Play sounds, stop sounds.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The 'Go' button starts all scripts in Scratch, no matter what.

All blocks can connect to each other in Scratch.

Changing the size of a sprite using 'change size by 10' makes it grow forever automatically.
