Computer Science Discoveries Unit 3 Chapter 1 Lesson 11: Conditionals (18-19)

Subject Area

Digital Literacy and Computer Science

Grade(s)

6, 7

Overview

The class starts by using Booleans to compare the current value of a sprite property with a target value, using that comparison to determine when a sprite has reached a point on the screen, grown to a given size, or otherwise reached a value using the counter pattern. After using Booleans directly to investigate the values or sprite properties, the class adds conditional if statements to write code that responds to those Boolean comparisons.
