Transcript
Coding is a sequence of instructions given to a computer to make it do a specific job. There are many different programming languages. Programmers will use one or more languages to tell a computer what they wanted to do. Programmers working at Google might use C++, Java, or Python and some programming languages use blocks to give the instructions to a computer. Scratch is a programming software that lets you program an animation. Let's have a look at some basic commands. Here are my programming blocks. The computer needs to know that I want it to start running my code. It's like pressing the Go button on your microwave. In Scratch, we can use the When Green Flag is Clicked block under the Event section to start our code. You can then use different commands to control the character which is called a sprite. Under the Motion tab, we can make the sprite move forwards, backwards or turn. In the Sound tab, we can add audio effects to our animation. You can also make the sprite wait if we don't want it to complete a command straight away. This is found under the Control tab. Head over to scratch.mit.edu to explore these commands yourself.

About 1Question
► 1Question was created by parents for parents, knowing that the average child (8-12 years) spends around 4 hours a day on screens. With the 1Question app, kids earn recreational screen time by learning. Much like sneaking vegetables into a cake, 1Question is sneaking micro-learning moments into your child’s screen time. Our award-winning app gives parents control over screen time by setting a study-to-playtime ratio and delivering Micro-Courses to kids. This video lesson is one from a science Micro-course available in the 1Question App.
