## Class
|
||||
|
||||
Year 7
|
||||
|
||||
## Prior learning/place of lesson in scheme of work
|
||||
|
||||
Learn how to create images that look like a rotating animation by using a while loop. We will be learning how to create a rotating animation using a global variable, while loop as well as simple commands, such as on button pressed and show animation.

## Objectives
|
||||
|
||||
* learn how to create a global variable for a place where you can store data, accessible across functions, and in nested code blocks
|
||||
* learn how to set or change the value of a global variable
|
||||
* learn how to repeat code while a condition is true
|
||||
* learn how to declare a global boolean variable to determine which code will execute next
|
||||
* learn how to run code when an input button is pressed
|
||||
* learn how to show a series of image frames on the LED screen
|
||||
* learn how to pause your code for the specified number of milliseconds
|
||||

## Progression Pathways / Computational Thinking Framework
|
||||
|
||||
#### Algorithms
|
||||
|
||||
* Understands that iteration is the repetition of a process such as a loop. (AL)
|
||||
* Represents solutions using a structured notation. (AL) (AB)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Programming & Development
|
||||
|
||||
* Creates programs that implement algorithms to achieve given goals. (AL)
|
||||
* Declares and assigns variables.(AB)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Data & Data Representation
|
||||
|
||||
* Understands the difference between data and information. (AB)
|
||||
* Defines data types: real numbers and Boolean. (AB)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Information Technology
|
||||
|
||||
* Collects, organises and presents data and information in digital content. (AB)
|
||||
* Makes appropriate improvements to solutions based on feedback received, and can comment on the success of the solution. (EV)
|
||||
|
||||
Computational Thinking Concept: AB = Abstraction; DE = Decomposition; AL = Algorithmic Thinking; EV = Evaluation; GE = Generalisation
