Scratch for APCS
Contributed by
Laura Webber, October 19, 2010
Documents with sample code for lots of Scratch implementations of APCS topics. I just finished using these with my APCS class (they have no prior programming experience) and we were able to get into much more sophisticated topics that I was expecting.
The documents show snippets of code for topics like variables, randoms, conditionals, loops, using the mod operator, etc.

Hi Karen,
Sorry for the delay. I'll try to rename the documents and repost so that the contents are more useful. Basically, our sequence was something like this:
-Have sprites move.
-Have sprites say something.
-Compute arithmetic problems.
-Accept user input.
-Compute algebraic problems based on user input.
-Use conditionals with user input.
-Provide random output in response to user input
-for loops, while loops
-Lists
-Use mod operator to generate all even/all odd items from a list
BTW, I teach 9th grade girls and their favorite project was the Crush Initials Generator (random letter generator that outputs the initials of someone who has a crush on you). So cute.
Ah, that's helpful -- thanks!
Hi Laura,
Thank you so much for sharing your documents! Is there a recommended sequence that you could provide?
Thanks!
