Lesson 3

Lesson Expectations

  • I can write instructions on how to log on to Google Classroom and Scratch in the classroom and at home.
  • I have written some code that uses loops to make a Solar System Simulation on Scratch.
  • I have written a reflection of what I have learned during the project.

Starter Challenge

In this task you will have 15 minutes to explain how you log on to Google Classroom and Scratch.

  • Open the shared document from Google Classroom.
  • Share your document with your partner - to do this you need to click the Blue Share button in the top right corner and then add your partners email address.
  • Add a the title "How to log on to Google and Scratch".
  • Centralise your title and give it a Title Style.
  • Type the sub title "Logging onto Google Classroom" - use the Heading 1 Style.
  • Using bullet points, write instructions on how to log on to Google Classroom.
  • Type the sub title "Logging onto Scratch".
  • Using bullet points, write instructions on how to log on to Scratch.

Can you finish your simulation?

How many planets can you make go around the sun?

Are the planets going the correct speeds?
