5th Grade Q3

Theme:  Variables

Vocabulary Word

Changing Variables - Variables that can be modified or changed during the runtime of a program.

Sometimes we need variables for more than keeping track of a score during a game.  We might need it control how much nectar to collect or how long to draw a line.  Those values might change during a program from place to place, so we need to create and use a "changing variable".
