Lesson 1.2: Using Algorithms
Aim:
To create an algorithm for making a snowman.
Be Inspired!
Peppa Pig and George are making a snowman. Watch carefully to see the sequence of instructions that they use (the algorithm).
Check it out:
Can you build a snowman? Can you use the same algorithm as Peppa Pig and George?
Do:
Log-on to your Seesaw account and create your own algorithm for making a snowman. Think carefully about each step. What do you need to do first? What will come next? Are there any instructions that you will need to repeat?
Have a look at this snowman game that was built using a coding website called Scratch. What do you think of the game? How could it be improved?
Fun:
