Introduction to Sequence, Selection and Repetition - structured programming makes use of these three components
Introcution to If and While control structures
Examples:
Sequence - Do in order
Selection - If - introduction to
Repetition - Count, While

Add the following Section 2-8 Vocabulary to your Java Definitions document:

- A graphical representation of a process model that uses shapes to represent the actions in the model.
- Executes the first set of instructions if a condition is true and the second set of instructions if a condition is false.
- Executes instructions repeatedly in a loop while a condition is true

Begin Section 2: Lesson 8 - IF and WHILE Control Structures slides.
Begin Section 2-8 IF and WHILE Control Structures practice. Save the White Rabbit Project as 2-8 Bunny Moves - be sure the bunny runs into the hedge. Save optional 1 activity as 2-8 Cheshire Cat . Save activity 2 as 2-8 Cards. Save activity 3 as 2-8 Tortoise.

Begin Section 2-8 IF and WHILE Control Structures project. Save the fish as Fish_8.

Once you have ALL animations completed you will show these to your instructor for teacher check.

Creating a timer in Alice 3

Homework

Complete any missing work.

What

Lesson 5 - Using Control Statements and Function
•Define multiple control statements to control animation timing
• Create an animation that uses a control statement to control animation timing
• Recognize programming constructs to invoke simultaneous movement
• Use functions to control movement based on a return value
• Create programming comments

Why

Certain movements require coordination, such as walking, sitting, or riding in a vehicle. Coordination may be required for an object's body parts to move in sync, or for two objects to move relative to each other.

Control statements and functions will help you better coordinate the movements of objects, as well as make their movements more precise.

How

By completing the slides, quiz and practice exercises.
