Combining code blocks in a sequence

This unit explores the concept of sequencing in programming. Pupils will be introduced to a selection of motion, sound, and event blocks which they will use to create their own programs, featuring sequences. Pupils will make a representation of a piano where they will explore sequence through sound.

Programming sequence using sound

A {{}} is an error or mistake in code that stops it from working properly or as expected.

Drag and drop the code block from one sprite to another.

Right click and duplicate the code block.

How do you copy a code block from one sprite to another?

You cannot implement an algorithm in Scratch.

{{}} sprites helps you read code and spot characters more easily.

What category does this code block belong to?

A {{}} is used to change the appearance of a sprite.

What would you add to change the appearance of the stage?

Different types of code blocks cannot be used in the same sequence.

A {{}} is a plan to show how something will look or work.
