Unit 12 - Python lesson 3 Selection

This lesson is about selection where the computer will make a different response according to different results to a set of variables.

Written work 1
Print screen your Code Academy programs and paste to a Google doc as you work through those tasks.  Give this doc a sensible name.

Written work 2
You drew up a flow chart in the lesson for the following scenario: 

  • A user enters their password.
  • The computer checks to see if the password is correct.
  • If the password is correct then they are allowed access.
  • If the password is not correct then they are denied access.

Draw this flowchart on a Google presentation (it's easier to draw shapes in this application than in a doc).

Share the presentation (Anyone with the link), copy the URL and paste it to a Blog post for this lesson.  Don't forget to highlight the URL text and click on the blue Link button!

Remember to give your post a title please!

Written work 3
Below your presentation link, explain what selection is - in your own words!  You can use the teacher's presentation for lesson 3 to remind you.

Written work 4
Share your Google doc of Code Academy screenshots (Anyone with the link) and copy/paste the URL to your Blog post as well.

Now click Publish!

Well done.  Thank you :-)

Unit 12 - Python Lesson 2

For this lesson, this is the work I need you to show on a new Blog post:

1.  Title your post the same as this one

2.  On a new Google doc (also called the same as this Blog post), paste a print screen of all your Code Academy programming for this lesson and explain what you are doing.  Talk about the variables you are using in each program.

3.  In your explanations, include notes about RAM and how it temporarily stores data.  

4.  Remember - details = marks!

5.  Share your Google doc (Anyone with the link) and paste the link to your Blog post.  Don't forget to add the blue hyperlink to it on your post!
