This PowerPoint presentation includes various fun activities based around: What programming is and why it is important Variables and constants BASIC Commands and their Scratch alternatives (PRINT, CLS, INPUT, END, REM, LET) Conditional Statements — IF THEN ELSE, SELECT
CASE, GOTO Loops - FOR NEXT, DO WHILE, WHILE WEND Setting Real World programming
challenges Combining programming with other topics ========================================================================= Part one, which contains various fun activities based around: Computational thinking (simplified)-- breaking down a bigger task into smaller steps and finding solutions Algorithms — Step - by - step ordered instructions Flow
Charts — Graphical representations of algorithms Pseudocode — A half - code outline of a program written for humans to understand.
One lesson is that anyone hoping to up - end decades of research pointing to a growing human influence on the climate by
challenging a single batch of studies (in this
case efforts to
chart past temperatures using indirect clues like tree rings) is almost surely on a fool's errand.
