Week 2: Conditionals & Control Flow

Unit: Conditionals & Control Flow

This week you make your maze game interactive by adding keyboard controls and wall detection using conditionals. You practice conditional logic through vocabulary, offline flow diagrams, and a deep dive into loops — then finish the week by combining loops and conditionals to build a working game mechanic in Scratch.

Weekly Schedule

Day	Date	Topic	Summary
6	Mon 3/23	Day 6: User Input & Conditionals	Watch an Edpuzzle on user input and events, add arrow-key controls to your maze, and use an `if touching color` block to send your sprite back to the start when it hits a wall.
7	Tue 3/24	Day 7: Flocabulary — Coding: Conditionals	Complete all six Flocabulary activities — video, vocab cards, vocab game, break it down, read & respond, and quiz — to build vocabulary around conditional statements.
8	Wed 3/25	Day 8: Flow Diagrams	Read and trace flow diagrams, then draw your own using ovals, rectangles, and decision diamonds to map out conditional logic on paper.
9	Thu 3/26	Day 9: Loops	Watch an introduction to loops, complete levels 1–10 of Code.org Lesson 12, and refactor a Scratch project to replace repeated blocks with `repeat` loops.
10	Fri 3/27	Day 10: Loops + Conditionals	Build a Scratch program from scratch that uses a `forever` loop containing at least two `if` blocks, a moveable sprite, a collectable coin, and a score variable.
