Starter:
Constants and Variables
From yesterday's lesson:
(a) List what your drawing program must be able to do. Make a plan for the drawing program. (You can use flowcharts, pseudo code or any other sensible method of showing how your program will work.)
1. Complete your flow chart using Gliffy if it is not done.
2. Read through the next section of the coursework.
Main:
You can now attempt to start creating the program in Scratch. The first task is to:
(b) Write a program that selects a black coloured pen.
3. Print screen this and annotate it in your word document.
Part (c) starts drawing the squares. (refer back to page 1 of the instruction sheets)
(c) Add to the program so that after selecting the pen colour it then draws a square with sides of length 20 and returns to its original position. (A reminder the steps for doing this are shown on the previous page.)
Test what you have made works then give evidence of your program blocks.
4. Print screen your code and show the results of your program. Annotate them in your Word document.
IF YOUR CODE DOES NOT WORK AT FIRST, PRINT SCREEN IT ANYWAY AS YOU CAN SHOW DEVELOPMENT WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY GET YOU MORE MARKS.
(d) After drawing the square make the sprite turn 13 degrees.
Test what you have made works then give evidence of your program blocks.
5. Print screen your code and show the results of your program. Annotate them in your Word document.
(e) Add to the program so it repeats the process of drawing a square and turning 20 times.
Test what you have made works then give evidence of your program blocks.
6. Print screen your code and show the results of your program. Annotate them in your Word document.

Below are 3 types of logic gates.
NOT Gates In the starter we were looking at a NOT gate.
Lets try it on the simulator.
Write a TRUTH TABLE for a NOT gate.
AND Gates Now let's look at an AND gate. Notice the shape:
Notice that it has 2 inputs A & B and output C.
What combination of inputs could we have for A & B? (Remember binary can only be 1s or 0s.)
As a class we will complete the table using the simulator.
You will need 2 high constants and 2 low constants, these will be our inputs, an AND gate and a light bulb to see the output.
If the button is pressed = 1 otherwise it is 0.
If the light bulb is on = 1 otherwise it is 0.
Input A Input B Output C
