Happy Tuesday Comets!  Tomorrow, Wednesday June 24th, will be our final Comets PE Live!

What you will need:

A safe, open space to move around
Items to catch (e.g., cotton balls, hair elastics, pencils, popsicle sticks, mini toys, coins, paperclips)
A plastic cup, any toy, a sock, and a pencil
Juniors, I’ll see you at 11am tomorrow.  I will post the link approximately 10 minutes before the Google Meet is scheduled to begin.  I hope you can make it!

Brainteaser/Riddle of the Day (June 23rd)

# data[].attributes.body
A basket has 15 apples, 8 oranges and 27 plums mixed randomly. If you close your eyes and grab a fruit from the basket, what is the mathematical probability of you getting an orange? (Answer in a fraction!)

Click here and post your answer!

Don't forget to either sign in (using your Google login, being your student number @pdsb.net) or include your name and riddle question on your post!

Mr. G will 'approve' the correct answers at the start of the next school day!

Our activities will be Lightbot, Spritebox, and Play Lab (in order). If you're a coding pro, feel free to skip ahead to the final activity (Play Lab) and get to work on your game!

Please post a link to your game (along with your name) below in the comments section of the 'Play Lab Student Creations' column here on Padlet. Mr. Giraldi has already posted some examples!

This is a Math-based introduction to coding, teaching students the basics of writing up coding procedures! It will teach you how to tell a computer to execute certain commands, including (very important) sequences and loops!

Play through each of the three levels, learning about...

Level 1 - How to input commands to a computer

Level 2 - How to create a 'pattern' or 'procedure' in order to better solve a problem (using less commands for the computer to read, which makes programs load faster and be more efficient)

Level 3 - How to 'loop' patterns, making a 'repeating procedure' line that never, ever ends! This is useful for solving very complex problems (or making your character make a lot of moves over and over)

Go to the following website on your Chromebooks. You will need to 'enable' or 'allow' flash to run after you click on the website link!

Lightbot Hour http://lightbot.com/flash.html

Remember that there are multiple ways to solve these problems, although the shorter way in code-making is usually the best of whatever options are available.

A huge THANK YOU to all the contributors who’ve helped with translating Lightbot! All translations are provided by Lightbot fans!

If you beat the final level of Lightbot (Level 3-6) you're ready for a more difficult coding activity! It's an interactive adventure called Spritebox that requires more advanced coding/pattern-making to 'hack' the game as you go and complete each level!

Play Lab Coding

STEP ONE

Go to this website, and choose one of three themes to work with!

https://code.org/playlab

STEP TWO

Watch the Hour of Code introduction video!

STEP THREE

Work through the levels; once you've got a good grasp of the fundamentals of coding, move to the final level. From there, you'll be creating a free form story or game!

STEP FOUR

When you've finished your story/video game short, click 'Run', and then 'Finish'. You'll be provided with a video link of your completed product. Attach it to the comment section above!
