Year 5 Lesson 1 - Crumble flash white code

a small computer that can be programmed to control output components and respond to inputs

a microcontroller which can control outputs and respond to inputs

an LED light that can connect to a Crumble

Connecting physical computing devices

Computing

Combining outputs

Controlling with conditions

Using selection to control the flow of a program

Design physical projects that include selection

Writing and testing algorithms

In this unit pupils will use physical computing to explore the concept of selection. Pupils will use conditions to control the flow of a program. They will make use of their knowledge of repetition when introduced to the concept of selection and write programs that utilise this concept.

Exploring selection in physical computing

a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy

a chunk of code that repeatedly runs a section of the program a certain number of times

a precise set of ordered steps which can be followed by a human or a computer to do a task

a statement that can be either True or False

a chunk of code that repeatedly runs a section of the program until a condition is met

part of a program where if a condition is met, then a set of commands is run

part of a program where one or more commands are run multiple times in a loop
