 INTRODUCTORY MESSAGE

For the facilitator:

Welcome to Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE Self-Learning Module

on Programming for Robotics.

This module was designed, developed, and reviewed by educators both from public
and private institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator in helping the
learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming their
personal, social, and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners in guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st-century skills while taking into consideration
their needs and circumstances.

As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners’ progress while allowing them to manage
their learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist the learners
as they do the tasks included in the module.

For the learner:

Welcome to the Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE Self-Learning

Module on Programming for Robotics.

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities for
guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You will be enabled to
process the contents of the learning resource while being an active learner.

HOW TO USE THE MODULE

Welcome!

This module is about sprites and their behavior. The module will teach the learners
the basics of programming language in creating interactive games and useful apps
in fun and creative ways.

The activities are designed and chosen specifically to help the learners code with or
without a computer. Each topic is complete with examples, illustrations, and
explanations.

Make the best use of this module. Complete the previous lesson before thoroughly
engaging in this module. That way, it will be easier for you to understand the lessons.

Carefully read the information sheets in each section and check your acquired
knowledge by answering the self-check. At the end of each section, perform the task
to test your knowledge and skills. Assess your performance by using the provided
performance criteria checklist.

You can apply what you learned if you have access to the internet for just an hour.
Go to the code.org website and sign in using your Facebook account or other
accounts. If you have questions, feel free to ask your teacher/facilitator.

Happy coding!

 What’s In
This is a brief drill or review to help you link the current lesson with the
previous one.

In this module, students will learn about the two concepts at the heart of
Sprite Lab: sprites and behaviors. Sprites are characters or objects on the screen
that students can move, change, and manipulate. Examples of these are our favorite
flappy Bird, Sloppy Bird, and many more. Behaviors are actions that sprites will
continuously do until they are stopped. Students will interact with characters using
user input and create their fish tanks or an alien dance party. Finally, they will learn
to create their customized behaviors.

What’s New
In this portion, the new lesson will be introduced to you in various ways; a
story, a song, a poem, a problem opener, an activity, or a situation.

Have you played and enjoyed this adorable game?

In this lesson, you will be introduced to the basics of sprites and their
behavior to create fun games and other useful apps.

 What Is It
This section provides a brief discussion of the lesson. This aims to help you
discover and understand new concepts and skills.

Swimming Fish with Sprite Lab

Sprite lab is where we can create imaginative, fun, or any useful apps. The
characters and objects that are inside the lab are called sprites. There are a lot of
things we can do with sprite. We can change its costume, its location on the screen,
and how it behaves. And to make it even more interesting, the sprite can even interact
with a user and with each other.

Lets get started.

The sprite lab.

Parts:

Playspace- this is where the characters will show up.

Toolbox- here you can select the code blocks needed for your program.

Workspace- the area where you will write your code using the code blocks.

Activity 1. What do you think will happen to the tumbleweed sprite when you run
the code?

Code blocks and image from code.org

Can you guess it?

Yes, it will tumble endlessly.

Activity 2. Let’s make a fish tank! (Try to draw your code before seeing the
solutions below)

2. Be sure to change the sprite’s costume.
3. Set the background to blue.
4. Make the fish swim left and right.

DepED-Division of Lapu-Lapu City 8 TLE/TVL

Solution:

1. Assemble the following code

Code blocks from code.org

2. Change the tumble into any fish by clicking

Challenge
It’s time to be playful! (Draw your code before seeing the solutions below)
Instructions:
Using the code block from pages 6 to 7, change the behavior of the fish at the top of
the tank to make it wander around. When the fish at the bottom touches the
wandering fish, make it spin right. Use event blocks and behavior blocks to do this.

 Alien Dance Party with Sprite Lab
This lesson focuses on making the sprite react to inputs like a mouse click
or when they touch each other.
Not let's have fun with some aliens!

Activity 1.
Instruction:
Make a prediction: What do you think will happen to the alien when you
click on it?

Code blocks and images from code.org

Answer. When you click on the alien, it will go up and down on the screen.

Activity 2.
Instructions:

The alien is proud of its dancing skills on Mars, but now it can only move
from side to side. Replace the alien's behavior that will make it start spinning!

Code blocks and image from code.org

Solution:

Code blocks from code.org

Activity 3

Instructions:
Create a new sprite that looks like a pink alien while retaining the previous
alien. Make it patrol the Marsian surface when it’s clicked.
Use the following code blocks:

Code blocks from code.org

Solution:

Code blocks from code.org

We have used the so far in making our sprite respond to

inputs. But we can also use to making the sprite respond to
keyboard input.
We have so far made the aliens respond to user inputs, but we can also make
the aliens interact with each other by using the code block

DepED-Division of Lapu-Lapu City 13 TLE/TVL

Activity 4
Instructions:
For the pink alien, fun is contagious! Touching it makes anyone want to dance.
Make the blue alien begin a new dance move when the pink alien touches it.

Solutions:

Code blocks and image from code.org

There are a lot of things you can do with code to make fun and exciting games.
You can even make an alien dance party. Your creativity in using the code blocks is
the limit.

Behaviors with Sprite Lab

Activity 1
Instructions:
Study the code inside the mystery behavior and predict what will happen to
the globe.

DepED-Division of Lapu-Lapu City 14 TLE/TVL

Code blocks and images from code.org

What will happen to the globe when the code is run? Will it spin, will it
shrink, will it move, or will it change color?
Yes, the globe will shrink since when the code is run, the sprite (globe) will
change the size by -1. Meaning it will continue to reduce its size by 1.

Activity 2
Instructions
Fly the rocket to the stars!

Image from code.org

DepED-Division of Lapu-Lapu City 15 TLE/TVL

Code blocks from code.org

How will you edit the flying behavior to make the rocket fly to the stars?

Solutions:

code blocks from code.org

Click and replace South to North directions.

Activity 3
Instructions
