Conditions in selection statements

Outcomes from selection statements

Using conditions to build quiz questions

Testing a quiz

Evaluating a quiz

In this unit pupils will discover how to write programs that ask questions and use selection to control the outcomes based on the answers given. They will design a quiz in response to a given task and implement it as a program. They will then evaluate their programs against given criteria.

Using selection in programming to develop a quiz

to choose between different actions based on a condition

In a branching algorithm, what is the main purpose of using selection?

Which of the following is an example of an input in a program?

It helps you understand what decisions the program needs to make.

It automatically writes the code for you.

Why is planning a branching algorithm helpful before starting to code?

The program will always choose the first outcome.

The program will follow the alternative outcome.

What happens if a user’s input does not match the condition in a branching algorithm?

The program picks what to do based on the answer.

The program shows a message if the answer is correct or not.

What is the first thing you should do when designing a program that uses selection?

What is a condition in Scratch programming?

What word means choosing between actions in a program?

What is the result called when a program checks a condition?

The program decides if the condition is True or False.

The program runs the ‘then’ command if True.

The program runs the ‘else’ command if False.

Order these steps for how selection works in Scratch:

The sprite says "Well done!" if the answer is right.
