Grade 9 Coding - No fear! Resources will be shared here.
NOTE: All all the Scratch Challenge Activities were created using Scratch 2.0. All blocks, however, are still present and with the same colours for Scratch 3.0.
โIt wonโt stop quacking and spinningโ Thanks @gkyfranzen for the awesome coding website and challenges to help us develop our problem solving skills this afternoon! @JDHodgsonES

Challenge #4
Challenge #4
In this challenge, you will first learn about how to use variables to store strings of text (words). Then the challenge is to create a mad libs like story with the information collected and stored in the variables.

Challenge #5
Challenge #5
After a quick review of variables, different ways to use numerical variables will be shown. The challenge: Click, Click, Click...WOW! You will have to make the sprite be clicked a certain number of times and then have different things happen/be done by the sprite!

Challenge #7
Challenge #7
In this challenge you will first learn about broadcasts. Then, you have two choices for your challenge:
Choice #1: Make a conversation happen between two or more sprites using broadcasts. Use multiple broadcasts to have a back and forth conversation between the sprites.
Choice #2: When you click on a sprite, it broadcasts a message to all other sprites and they all do something (pixelate, change colour, say something, move, etc...). Each character should be clickable and cause something to happen to the other sprites.

Challenge #9
Challenge #9
In this challenge, you will use the "loudness" block and the "=" operator and the greater than and less than operators to change the colour, look, location or costume of the sprite. You can take it even farther and use it with in a game like I did here: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/111315636/.

Challenge #10
Challenge #10
In this scratch challenge you will be making a choose your own adventure story. You will use "if" and "else if" conditional statements to make a story that can have many different endings. To help you plan your story, use the planner here: https://goo.gl/dKImq7 to help you organize your thinking.
