Scratch Year 6 Skills Assessment

Arrange the following code blocks in the correct sequence to make a sprite move forward 10 steps, turn 90 degrees, and then repeat this action 4 times.

• Repeat 4 times, Turn 90 degrees, Move 10 steps

• Move 10 steps, Repeat 4 times, Turn 90 degrees

• Move 10 steps, Turn 90 degrees, Repeat 4 times

• Turn 90 degrees, Move 10 steps, Repeat 4 times

What is the purpose of using loops in Scratch programming?

• To repeat a set of instructions multiple times

• To change the background color

• To play music

• To create a new sprite

Write a conditional statement in Scratch that will make a sprite change its costume when the space key is pressed.

• when green flag clicked, switch costume to next

• when space key pressed, switch costume to next

• when flag clicked, switch costume to previous

• when space key pressed, change size by 10

Explain the concept of sprites in Scratch programming.

• Sprites are the characters or objects that perform actions in Scratch programming.

• Sprites are the coding blocks used to write scripts in Scratch programming.

• Sprites are the sound effects used in Scratch programming.

• Sprites are the background images in Scratch programming.

What are events in Scratch programming and how are they used?

• Events are decorations used to make the program look more interesting

• Events are used to create loops in the program

• Events are only used for debugging purposes

• Events are actions or occurrences that trigger specific scripts or code blocks, and they are used to make the program respond to user input or changes in the environment.

Create a simple Scratch program using variables to keep track of the score in a game.

• Use variables to keep track of the score.

• Use variables to keep track of the time

• Use loops to keep track of the score

• Use functions to keep track of the score

How can you use conditional statements to make a sprite respond to different keys being pressed in Scratch?

• By using the 'repeat' block to respond to different keys

• By using the 'forever' block to continuously respond to all key presses

• By using the 'if' block to check which key is being pressed, and then perform different actions based on the key pressed.

• By using the 'wait until' block to check for different key presses

Describe how to use loops to create repetitive actions in a Scratch program.

• You can drag the 'repeat' block into the scripting area and specify the number of times you want the repetitive action to occur.

• You can use the 'if' block to create repetitive actions

• Simply copy and paste the code multiple times to create repetitive actions

• There is no way to create repetitive actions in Scratch programs

How can you use variables to keep track of the score in a Scratch game?

• By using the 'if' block to check the score

• By using the 'forever' block to continuously track the score

• By using the 'repeat' block to track the score

• By using the 'set' block to update the score

What is the purpose of using functions in Scratch programming?

• To change the background color

• To create a new sprite

• To repeat a set of instructions multiple times

• To organize and reuse code
