Suitable for KS3 and KS4 to introduce the concept and application of a While Loop. Includes flowchart starter task, practical Scratch coding activity, quiz questions, teacher presentation and comprehensive lesson plan. Flowchart task establishes understanding of how a while loop is constructed, students then apply their understanding to an ‘Italian Plumber’ game which is partially provided in a Scratch file. Tried and tested and works very well for observed lessons.

Three tasks in Scratch to introduce students to the while loop. Students must complete the while loop by inserting the correct code blocks in Scratch. Suitable for KS2/KS3 Computing or as a refresher/introduction for KS4.
