Category: Lesson #2

Learning Objectives

• Understand and apply basic coding concepts: loops, conditionals, and variables.
• Identify how these concepts are used in coding.
• Write a program using loops and conditionals in a visual coding tool.

Topics Covered

1. Loops: Repeating actions.
2. Conditionals: Making decisions.
3. Variables: Storing information.

Lesson Components

1. Review

• Briefly recap Lesson 1.

2. Concept Exploration

• Explain and demonstrate loops (e.g., “repeat until”), conditionals (e.g., “if/else”), and variables.
• Relate concepts to real-life examples (e.g., loops = repeating chores, conditionals = decisions based on weather).

3. Hands-on Activity

• Use Scratch or Blockly to create a project with a loop (e.g., a bouncing ball).
• Add conditionals to make decisions (e.g., changing color when touching the edge).

4. Challenge Task

• Students customize their project by adding variables (e.g., a score counter).

5. Reflection and Sharing

• Share projects with the class.

• Reflect on how these concepts apply to games or apps they use.
