Music And Sound (Scratch Coding) Part 1

We learned in Scratch about an important computer science concept; loops.

A loop is simply a ​ (a)   of instructions that ​ (b)   over and over.

• set
• repeats
• jump
• rotate
• pause
• delete

In Scratch, we found loops under which menu option?

• Motion

• Looks

• Sound

• Events

• Control

We first made a sprite dance in one spot on the screen.

Some sprites in Scratch like Cassie, have multiple ​ (a)   .
A costume is one of the many possible ​ (b)   of a sprite.

If you click on each of the sprite's costumes, her appearance ​ (c)   so that it looks like she is dancing.

• costumes
• appearances
• changes
• colors
• movements
• sounds
• shapes
• sizes

If you drag the "next costume" block into the script editor, and click the code block, the sprite costume changes, and she ​ (a)   .

We want sprite to keep dancing so we will use the "​ (b)   " block. One of the best reasons to know a little Computer Science is that you can use it to make ​ (c)   tasks happen ​ (d)   .

• dances
• Forever
• repeated
• automatically

To change how fast the sprite dances we then used a wait block, which you will find also under the Control menu. Which one is the correct sequence of blocks that makes Cassy dance in one place?

•

• 
• 

Once you made the sprite dance in one place we then decided to move the sprite around when they dance.

Make the sprite move around the stage using the ​ (a)   block. X and Y values represent Cassie's ​ (b)   on the stage.

• glide
• position
• jump
• rotate
• spin
• shrink

To make the sprite move back and forth as it dances, we put the sprite in one spot on the stage then drag out the glide block for that position. Which is the correct glide block?

• 
•

In Scratch, there's a stage, or a backdrop, where the sprites ​ (a)   .

The code blocks you've added so far all belong to the dancing sprite and they tell it how to move.

You want the ​ (b)   to add to your project to play for all ​ (c)   , not just the dancing sprite so click on the stage and add your music ​ (d)   there.

• move
• music
• sprites
• blocks

Scratch has many types of sounds to choose from but since this is a party, you're gonna choose from the music ​ (a)   menu.

A music loop is a sound that is designed to be played ​ (b)   again, but that still sounds like one ​ (c)   song.

• loops
• over and over
• continuous

Using forever loop and a "play sound until done" (a)   to play the music forever when the flag is clicked.
