Introduction to Command blocks

Scratch blocks are color-coded blocks that you connect like puzzle pieces
to create scripts

Block Types

Ø There are six block types, each with a unique shape, that will only
connect to blocks that contain a matching slot made for that specific shape.

Ø This feature allows kids to learn the logic of programming, without


having to worry about syntax errors.

Ø Block Types: Hat Blocks, Stack Blocks, Reporter Blocks, Boolean


Blocks, C Blocks, and Cap Blocks.

Blocks are categorized based on their functionality, and blocks within the
same category share the same color

Hat blocks are used to start your scripts

Stack blocks are used to perform the main tasks in your scripts

C Blocks are used to perform conditions and loops in your scripts

Boolean blocks return a “true” or” false” value.

Reporter blocks are used to report values in your scripts

Cap blocks are used to stop your script or project from running
Topic for the session

When Green Flag Clicked Command:

When the green flag clicked command activates the project to run, when
you click on the green flag button, it will start to run the project.

Move Command:

Ø It will move the sprite character.

Ø You can specify the number of steps that the sprite should move.

Ø If you give a negative value here, it will move in the opposite direction.

Forward movement-> positive number;

Backward movement->negative number;


Turn Command

Ø Turn command has both clockwise and anti-clockwise rotation.

Ø It turns/rotates in the angle specified.


Concept test

What will happen if we give a negative number inside the move


command?

The sprite moves backwards.

Which command will rotate the sprite?

The turn command.

Which command will start the project?

When the green flag clicked the command,

What is clockwise and anti clockwise ?

What is an angle?

The word ‘angle’ has been derived from the Latin word Angulus, meaning
“a little bending”. Angles are measured in degrees.
