This document outlines a programming unit that will teach students how to create programs using Scratch, which allows combining sound, graphics and animation, through six lessons covering topics like program design, variables, loops, and collision detection. Students will learn programming features of Scratch like sprites, scripts, costumes, sounds and animation. The first lesson introduces basic, intermediate and advanced uses of Scratch coding through tasks and challenges.

1. Starting from

2. Programming in Scratch
• In this unit will focus on how to write computer
programs.
• You will be using a program called Scratch
• Scratch will let you create programs that
combine sound, graphics and animation.
• You will learn how to use Scratch through
completing of a set of tasks and self exploration.
• At the end of each lesson, there will be set
questions which will help you to check if you
have understood what you have learned.
