This comprises a collection of sample activities that incorporate visual programming (Scratch) into teaching and learning programs. They show the possibilities Scratch offers for integration. The projects are incomplete and are designed to be used as samples for inspiration or modification by teachers.
Order images to show a sequence of personal events or milestones such as birth, first tooth, beginning to crawl.
This lesson sequence is a cross-age project that can be used for students in year 5/6 in collaboration with students from years 1-2. In this project, students collaborate on a code for an unplugged robot. They design, test and modify the robot and create instruction manuals.
There is also a series of units comprising learning activities, paired with assessment activities and templates that can be used to support use of the Scratch (MIT) platform. The Scratch Creative Computing Guide supports assessment activities with visual programming environments.
Students are introduced to Ozoblockly and basic programming concepts. Using Ozoblockly, students program Ozobot to follow a path and travel through a maze that they have created. This lesson idea was created by Steven Payne.
In this activity, students learn about digital systems and how a circuit works using the Makey Makey toolkit. They sort conductive and nonconductive items into groups using an experimental approach. This lesson idea was created by Rebecca Vivian.
The soil moisture sensor project integrates science understandings and computational thinking to solve a problem about sustainable watering practices. This lesson was devised by Trudy Ward, Clarendon Vale Primary School, Tasmania.
Students create a storyboard to plan a ‘choose your own adventure' story, where the reader is provided with a number of decisions that lead to alternative endings.
Wombot is hungry and wants a carrot! With simple code, help Wombot through mazes, and learn to draw lines and shapes with code. In this challenge you'll learn the fundamentals of programming by using instructions to position Wombot on the screen. You'll help Wombot move and turn, and along the way learn to draw lines, patterns ...
Natural language processing is growing in importance. We often converse with automatic chatbots for customer service without even knowing. We also use online translation services or mobile apps. But how do these services work? Is there artificial intelligence (AI) in them? Three projects are offered to cater for student ...
Using OzoBots students move an Ozobot about a map with coordinates. This lesson idea was created by Ben Jucius.
Students are introduced to Ozobot and how drawing lines and colour codes can control it. This lesson allows students to experiment with different lines and codes to create a path for Ozobot to follow. This lesson idea was created by Steven Payne.
Students explore a sequence of steps using Bee-Bots in the context of familiar narratives. They navigate a Bee-Bot to events within the story, first as a whole class and then in small groups. This activity can be integrated with English and the exploration of narratives. This lesson idea was created by Rebecca Vivian.
During this lesson, students will be required to consider the functions of the Bee-Bot and how a user can interact with this device. Students are asked to design a course challenge for another user which will result in the Bee-Bot, with a pin attached, reversing into a balloon to pop it. This lesson idea was created by ...
Students are introduced to Sphero and its main features – direction, speed and colour. This lesson allows students to experiment through playing with Sphero and controlling it with the Sphero app. This lesson idea was created by Steven Payne.
Create a computer program to learn a traditional Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander language.
Create a flowchart to represent a sequence of (branching) steps and decisions needed to solve a mathematical problem.
Write a set of instructions that program a Bee-Bot to move to letters to spell out a word on an alphabet grid.
Compare algorithms designed to complete the same task, and evaluate each for efficiency.
Create a model using snap blocks 1 block high and create a code so someone else can build your model.
